the irony is that as 1 liter of water weighs 1 kilogram estimates of various things is made much easier.
I've often used that relation to my benefit.
- ken 17y agoI don't disagree that the metric system is simpler, but that's maybe not the best example, because the U.S. system has a similarly simple water volume-weight equivalence, and it even has a catchy saying: "A pint's a pound, the world around". :-)
