I learned that's some kind of symbolism in the bible, 3 is a symbol for the godly (trinity), 4 stands for humanity (4 human virtues), 3*4 = 12 etc. apparently you find all sorts of combinations of the two (well, 3, 4, 7 and 12) throughout the bible and in jewish religion.
Which sort of shows that a godless, secular atheist country should go with metric.![]()
