When they standardized on the metric system, it's interesting
that they did not decimalize time. "They" (the revolutionary French in the late 18th C) did, including days and months (which aren't arbitrary but relate to astronomical events). But it wasn't popular or accurate and usage reverted to the old units after a few years.
