About 70 kg

Edit: Since you asked specifically for pounds I'm 155 LBS

 

 thank you...pounds > kg

1 cubic meter of water = exactly 1 kg. Does 1 cubic feet of water weigh exactly 1 pound?

That and the decimal scale are what make the metric system the best. How can anyone prefer the imperial system is beyond me.

 

It's really quite simple - they grew up with it.

Don't you use Fahreneit in Southern America (sorry if I'm wrong). Well, celcius does have a fair bit of advantages (water freezes at 0, boils at 100). Still, it's hard to accept Fahreneit as inferior (I'm not completely sure if it is though).

 

No, we use Celsius. We (in Argentina, at least) use all SI units except inches for measuring TV sizes and lb for tyre pressure I can't think of another case of a non-SI unit. And I agree, Celsius is superior, because it's completely logical with 0 and 100 degrees for melting and boiling points of water. Unlike Fahrenheit (I read it was 32 and 200-something, doesn't make sense)

 

So everything is the same as in Norway then.

Well... Err... Your water still runs the wrong way in the sink!

 

I guess my previous post (along with this one) was pretty much useless then. Yay!

 

Hahaha, yeah, true, water runs counterclockwise here. One professor told me once that if the clock had been invented in the Southern Hemisphere, it would run "counterclockwise" (of course, that would be the clockwise standard). Makes you wonder

Only the US doesn't use the metric system, everyone else in the world uses it (to my knowledge).

 

And Canada!

Canada is a metric country. The only non-metric countries in the world are the US, Liberia and Burma (thanks to Wiki). That doesn't mean the obsolete units aren't still being used in some metric countries like Canada or the UK, of course

You sure about that.... Maybe parts of Canada don't, like by the US border, but I thought they did too.

Well, you could, y'know, do your part and switch to metric. Then you wouldn't be hybrid anymore

I wish US would convert to metric system. But too much $, time, and everyone is used to the other one.

Wow, really? I thought large parts of Asia were non-metric. Guess I was wrong then (unless you somehow consider Asia not to be part of the world ).

No, they're officially metric. Whether they're in fact metric is another subject. I mean, I'm sure a person in rural China isn't likely to use metrics, he'd use whatever unit they use there instead. But I suspect in big cities they use the metric system (or at least they use it together with their old system)

In China they use their own measurement for weight, which is equal to exactly half a kilo but in pretty much every other situation i came across they use metric.
