Have you ever wanted to take part in an international organization, and/or utilize that as fluff for future applications to colleges, clubs, or jobs? Ideally with little-to-no work involved, beyond potentially discussing home decor and/or designing or preserving absolutely awful systems of measurement?<br /><br />Well, look no further! After getting into a drunk argument with a friend this past Friday night, a version of myself who was substantially under the influence may or may not have abused some systems at my school to register a new international system of measurement standards to prove my point. I still lost the debate.<br /><br />So now I'm offering you the once-in-a-lifetime ability to join the <a href=\"http://www.iccum.org\">International Consortium of Completely Useless Measurements</a>. I may have made some very questionable financial <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">and</span> academic decisions, but now <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">you</span> can profit off of them. We can make lemonade from my poorly-thought-out lemons!<br /><br />Simply register by sending me a set declaration and a $5.00 processing fee (photo of it will suffice), and you can be registered for a position in the ICCUM Leadership council!<br /><br />Want to put "President of International Affairs" or "Treasurer for Travel Expenses" on your future applications?! Without putting in any of the associated work?^T Well, now you can!*<br /><br />Want an excuse to define a unit of mass called "Robin Hoods" and then utilize it in a legitimate academic essay for your science or English class? Join the ICCUM and you can cite your units in any essay of your choosing!<br /><br />I may have made a terrible decision, but joining this organization won't be for you! Join the ICCUM today! Together, we may stand in defiance against the International System of Units, the tyrant monopolists of Measurement!<br /><br /><div style=\"font-style:italic;color:#888;\">I am sure I will regret this in three months' time.</div><br />_{_{*Titles will be granted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
