I have a cookbook (by a French immigrant) that discusses "metric ounces," whatever those are. I keep my kitchen scale on metric if only because it's easier to measure out 3g of yeast than the Imperial equivalent.
that's awesome!
Don't you think it's a little creepy that he estimated Summer Glau's volume? Hehe.
