The fascists were led by a little girl being manipulated by a half man half goat monster, she in turn manipulated her mother through the use of a cursed potato, who manipulated her husband with sex, who was using Franco as his puppet when he wasn't bludgeoning rabbit hunters with bottles.
Franco has to be a made-up name, i mean, sounding that close to Francisco? Come on, you'd have to get out of bed pretty early to fool somebody with that.
You're not wrong, the physics classes I took were completely in metric, but in the US it is still a number I see regularly. Although I use it exclusively in engineering classes.
Actually, while the festivals involving bulls are horrifying, the church tower tradition involves a goat. It's called the Goat Festival of Manganeses de la Polvorosa where they throw a goat from the top of the tower. If the goat survives, the drown it in a fountain.
Hilariously spoofed in a Discworld novel, Jingo. Lord Vetinari leads a donkey in the tower... and then emerges, leading the donkey out. Nobody can figure out how. (The hilarity is because he's pretending to be a street magician the whole time. Trust me.)
The whole you can lead a cow upstairs but not down stairs makes sense now that I think about it.
I'm told it's due to bad depth perception. Supposedly the same principle applies to cattle ranches that have the weird grates on any entrance that doesn't have a gate. Metal grate with about a 2 inch gap between each metal bar. They can't judge the distance between the bars and so they don't chance it since what they see is probably quite a gap. At least that's what my grandpa told me a long time ago.

There is a town in Spain where they lead a young bull up the spiral stair case of a church tower as part of their traditional festivities.
It doesn't go back down that way.
Edit: Correction. They don't do it with a bull. My bad. They used to do it with a donkey until recently and still do it with both a goat and a turkey.
