    The inventor of the imperial units used by the US, this one really sniffed glue.

      The decimal time was introduced at the same time than the rest of the units.

      In this system days are 10 hours long, hours are 100 minutes and minutes 10 seconds.

      Unfortunately the system did not stick at the time and we reverted to the old system.
