Dear Lord P.(ure-metric),

for continentals like us there is a nice little freeware
programm called convert and it says:

117 kg = 18.42432 stone
(yes, I know, it should give 18 stone and some lbs, ounces etc.
furtheremore I do not know, if the stones are imperial or
from the new world, but I bet there is a difference....;-)

some more...

117 kg = 257.9405 pound (advp)(lb)
117 kg = 313.4674 pound (troy)
117 kg = 585000 carat (for people who are in gemstones)
117 kg = 75232.64 pennyweight (also a very nice one)

I remember there was a discussion like tis some years ago and
( if I am not wrong) Julius shed some more light on the topic.

Best,
Bernhard.
Dollbergen, Germany (metric)
