and what the hell is a Stone?
you don't use pounds because they are your money? ©
yet you reject the metric system (A+ (am i the only one that likes the "Standard system" as we call it here. Hard to be standard when we are the only country that uses it. But god damn it its standard because we are awesome.)

I'm, 6 foot 1" and weigh in at about 155lbs.

Jeffburg; thats two posts in a row where you have referenced to the U.S.A. as the "best country". :rolleyes: If this is the case then why the hell do British cars kick such a$$ and why did British rock and roll basically take over the north american music scene in the 60's and 70's??? If you need more back up evidence I'm sure other people on here will back me up on this. Sorry if I'm sounding like a bit of a willy but it seems to me that you are just being a little cocky. If your so into America then why the british forums man? again not trying to offend you.

I am also curious as to what a stone is as well....

peace

Stoopid French Metric system :thumbsup: .

I thought the US went 'officially' metric some time ago?
I never understood why America only uses part of the imperial system though. Stones are part of the system, so are hundredweights, chains, rods, furlongs and everything else. And why is a US ton different to an imperial tonne? And there should be 20 fl oz in a pint not 16. And what the hell is a cup?

Strangest thing is the BBC system of metric feet!

But god damn it its standard because we are awesome

:rolleyes: :lol: :rolleyes:

I could use a quart of milk and some cookies right now!

I never understood the 'stone' thing, I was brought up using the metric system. I am 134.5 KG
but it's funny how everyone still does height in feet and inches!

I think feet and inches mean more to people. They are more real rather than being extrapolated in some obscure manner like metres are. I think it was the Finnish government who recently published a report saying that feet and inches were far more efficient than metric for measuring and estimating for this very reason. People are usually far more accurate when asked to estimate in feet.

6ft 1 and 16st 2. I'm often asked if I play rugby as I'm of a "sturdy" :tongue: frame but the closest I currently get to exercise is moving my mini minus shell aroung my garage and sanding it.

Ade :grin:
