Why are the Chinese always three weeks late for new years?
The reason why it is not on January 1st, like it should be, is because China uses the outmoded metric system. The metric system is largely known for its lack of practicality in all matters, and is foolishly used in 192 of 195 countries on Earth. Centimeters, a metric unit for length, is significantly smaller than an inch. The Chinese use the metric system because everything is smaller in China. Not to mention, 10.16 centimeters of penis sounds much more optimistic than 4 measly inches. The metric system also uses smaller units of time, and when converted to standard it causes the Chinese New Years to ultimately start on the wrong date.
