1 Stone = 14 lbs. I think. Either that or eight furlongs, two fortnights.

My car gets 12 Hectors to the Hogshead.

LOL -- but aren't hectares units of area?

Try furlongs to the hogshead......or ells, or leagues.

Maybe how's about parsecs to the giga-hogshead?

I still figure in MPG, but my speedometer is calibrated in furlongs-per-fortnight.

Much simpler that way.
