> FFS WTF is a stone!

It's actually a pretty good weight for measuring humans (14lb). Your weight in pounds varies from day to day but your weight in (half-)stones is much more stable.

The real travesty is the fact that the sub-unit for a stone is a pound and not a pebble. I have no idea what stones and pounds are, but if it was stones and pebbles at least it'd be funnier

    There's a full metric system hidden there: rock - stone - pebble - grain.

    I propose 614 stones to the rock, 131 pebbles to the stone, and 14707 grains to the pebble. Of course.
