Plox, no one except a small group of people in the world know what "lbs" is. Write it in kg so 99% of the people in world know what you are talking about.
Brad, Hey smart guy, NASA has been using metric units since the early 1990s, since it's the WORLD STANDARD for science, engineering, and manufacturing. Oh, and apologies if I scared you with the word 'science.'
Anyone who has gone to college in the US learned the metric system. Anyone in any scientific field in the US uses it interchangeably. Don’t get mad just because “99%” of the world only knows the metric system. Also, this site uses both units, so calm the f@#k down. Also, PLENTY of other nations know the imperial system. Also, the US makes up 4.25% of the world population. You’re welcome.
Like Lucas said, here in the USA just about everybody knows the metric system. Even the most ghetto drug buyer knows what a gram is. I can add water to a container and guess within a few mls when I have a liter, or readily distinguish by sight 8 ul from 10 in a pipet tip. It's just way more fun to use teaspoons, tablespoons, cup,s quarts, pints, yards miles bushels, pecks for everyday life. why be so stiff? It certainly doesn't make you seem superior.
I do OK with weights, temps, volumes and lengths, but when you start combining them I sometimes have issues. When I was in Europe last (3 years ago) and was watching the weather forecast the dang wind was listed in m/sec. Why not km/hr. Wind in the US is generally mi/hr (or knots if you're the nautical type).
No shit here, these beetles can pull over 1,100x their own body weight. That is similar to an average person pulling six double-decker buses packed with people.

There are 2 types of countries in the world...those who know what kg are and those that have FLOWN A F***ING HELICOPTER ON MARS. 'Murica f**k yeah!!!
