Problems with Lobsters and the Metric System

Meet Larry the Lobster - He sits outside the tiny town of Kingston in South Australia. The towns primary industry is crayfish and lobster fishing and one of the fishermen decided to commemorate the towns industry by getting a fibreglass lobster made up. This was however done at the time of getting rid of the imperial units system. He ordered a 17 foot lobster and got a 17 metre one instead.
