How many pounds are in a stone

[danzig]

Just listening to Whole Lotta Rosie again , Bon had this woman weighing in at 19 stone . I've been wanting to know for years what the conversion factor is for US pounds . Anyone know ?

14 lbs in 1 stone.

19 stone is 266 lbs.

stones? I wonder how this weight measurement got created?

You think 50 stones is enough to barter for a BMW X5? I would think they weigh the same...

Geez, if you're gonna nef, at least pull out the calculator first. 😉 An X5 4.6is weighs 4,824 pounds unladen and has 340 HP. If that thing weighed 700 pounds, it could probably run with a Hayabusa. 😀

50 stones for a BMW X5? You mean real stones, or 700 British pounds? Personally, I don't think you have the stones to make an offer.

How many inches are in a hand? (don't even go there, your minds cannot be in the gutter this early in the morning)

It is the measurement for how tall a horses shoulders are for those of you who are thinking "WTF is he talking about?"

I am sure we all know of some strange measurement terms...

League, bit (that'll cost 'ya 2 bits), etc.

If anyone has ever listened to Whole Lotta Rosie - then she was "A whole lot of woman"
