Happy Labor Day to all my fellow Americans. If we were on the metric system, we'd celebrate Labor Day on May 1st, like the rest of the planet. But in the American measurement system, the metric May 1st works out to be our first Monday in September, so I guess it's all how you look at things.

Strangely, Canada, on the metric system, also celebrates Labour Day the same day as you guys. :)

Perhaps you will laugh, but I don't understand how the metric system has to do with when we celebrate Labor Day?

In Australia, Labour Day is in October, and it's Metric here too ;)
