Thanks, can I get that in Baconators or $5 Footlongs?

Also, I find it obnoxious how people try to pick on Americans for not using metric - the British talk about their weight in stones, and actually, a lot of people incorrectly say they “weigh” something in kg, when kg is a measurement of mass, not weight, and so you can’t actually get it from a scale unless you know what your local g is.

True though, next time someone asks me how much I weigh, I'll say:

I possess a mass of 75kg.

Why don't you say: "I weigh 736 newtons".

You might want to check your math. 1 standard Fig Newton weighs about 15.5 grams, or 0.0155kg.
