The early US used multiple measurement systems. New York used the Dutch system other New England states used the English system. Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson wrote to his friends in France asking for help. They sent scientist Joseph Dombey who brought a 1 kilogram standardized weight. Dombey's boat was caught in a storm, blown into the Caribbean, where it was captured by English Privateers. Dombey died in captivity before he could be ransomed. His 1 kilogram weight was sold off and was purchased by the Ellicot family where it was passed down as an heirloom until it was donated to a musuem in the 1950's. A bad storm and pirates may have kept the US from adopting the metric system.

I'm on the gin and tonic diet. So far I've lost 2 days!
They don't censor a man being impaled in his a**e but do censor a woman's nipples.
