The british use the metric system now, however that's only roughly the last 50 years or so - when my parents were kids they were still firmly imperial.

Seems pretty accurate to me, without much effort I got within approximately 1.5ft of the 1776m measurement.

Except when you bother to zoom in and make your measurements accurate, 1776 metres gets you from nothing exactly to nothing exactly. Interesting coincidence and nothing more.
And why's the Washington Monument not dead-in-line if this were of some import?
And lastly, nobody's answered why Metric?

www.goddesscolumbia.com... - The moment the sages of 1177 foresaw, just after the turn of the seventh millennium of the Hebrew calendar and the beginning of the third Christian millennium, the alignment of eclipse cycle and the sacred calendars, occurred on October 3/4th, 2005, and two days later, on October 5/6th, the great portent appeared in the sky. The sun in Virgo, from a sidereal perspective, falling on the Virgin’s robed shoulder, “clothed by the Sun,” a thin crescent moon on the cusp of Virgo/Libra, “with the Moon under her feet,” and “pregnant” with the conjunction of Mercury, Jupiter and the alpha star of Virgo, Spica, at the level of her womb. “Crowned with twelve stars,” suggests the return of the cusp of Virgo/Leo, ancient starting point of the zodiac, to the fall equinox. The Red Dragon can be seen as the Head of the Dragon marking the solar eclipse, waiting to eat the child, the Sun/Son, the moment it is born.

Here we have a pregnant female owl with the birth water spilling out. The belly button is ontop of the belly, as seen from the angle of birth. (Or, alternatively, the 'belly-button' could be the heart or heart chakra) The "new born" sun (of this god) is seen to come out of the vaginal opening; because it's reflection would be viewed in the water as it rises from the east over the Capitol building.
edit: I'm assuming that the blue area is water, if not then ignore my idea about the sun being born
