Big round of applause... For the machine? What was the machine's reaction? Delight? Pride?

#1 The machine didn't make itself, now did it? And engineering is not always about machines. Civil engineers would applaud the concrete block's toughness :)

yard, inch, pounds? Come on is it the stone age? Metric is the new style people. (among scientists anyway)
Otherwise it was interesting to see the pattern how it breaks.

Kilopond is a unit that was widely used in europe until 50 years ago.
I like the metric system more than imperial units, because i know how long a meter is or how heavy a kilogramm.
But if you grew up in an area where the imperial system is used, you have no "feeling" for the metric units.
I think thats the biggest problem in changing systems. But I agree that the metric system is more logic in some ways (1000m = 1km etc).
I hope you get my point.

If you want some metric units:
Diameter of the pillar: 457.2 mm
Area on which the force was applied: 164,173 mm^2
Pressure it took to destroy the pillar: 43 N/mm^2
