An asteroid the size of 5000 9mm rounds weighing as much as 4000 kilos of seized cocaine
Finally a measurement I can relate to.
I can't. I need it in 7.62 NATO
But metric can still be applied. Hear me out.
So a yard is roughly one meter. It means a kilo-yard is about one kilometer and a centi-yard is one centimeter. How many miles or inches that is, is a conversion problem within the imperial system.
In the same way, a quart is about one liter. Milli-quart is about one milliliters. Easy. How many gills those are is not our problem.
There is no immediate equivalent for weight, although a double-pound would be roughly one kilogram.
It's almost like Imperial system units have all been borrowed from different measurement systems that should have nothing to do with each other. Tho I could get behind 12 inches in a foot, that seems nice to divide
Anything but metric
