archaic units

I was reading this article on obesity and found this link to calculate some ratio that indicates whether or not you're overweight (personally, I think most people know whether or not they're overweight).

The units are in fucking stones. Who in the hell weighs themselves using stones? Should I be measuring my height in cubits? Granted, they have a metric version, but still...

Sheesh.
