Comment Is this the fear Americans have of metric? (Score 1) 440

"If the United States were more like the rest of the world, a McDonald's Quarter Pounder might be known as the McDonald's 113-Grammer, John Henry's 9-pound hammer would be 4.08 kilograms, and any 800-pound gorillas in the room would likely weigh 362 kilos."

Honest - Is that the fear Americans have of metric? Simply do with a 125g burger, a 4kg hammer and a 200kg gorilla (they seldom reach more...).
