Fun fact, we don't have lbs in my country either, so when I was first exposed to the Red version pokédex as a kid and all the weights were in lbs I was like "what the heck is a libs?"

It would have been funny if they localized the English version for Britain rather than the US and all the weights were given in stones.

Behold, the SS Anne, at least 100 cubits long and weighing at least 50 stone, it gets over 5 barleycorn to a demiard of kerosene!

Yes but how many farthings can it cross in fortnight while taking the hobbits to Isengard?

The recently spotted ufo was 50 brunches wide and 2000 libs heavy.

We are now reporting that the ufo was in fact 25

This indicates a problematic brunch gap.

We now believe that the ufo was suspected to be flying with their Rashomon generators turned on and eyewitness brunch widths are not to be trusted.
