Brent Maynard says he weighs 74 kilograms and is 169 centimeters tall.
And that's why the Metric System sucks. 169 Centimeters tall? What the hell is that? I'm 6'1". Not that's a REAL measurement. Now, if they want to come up with a standard of measure in which the base unit is about the same length as a Standard foot, then great. Otherwise, I'll stick with the standard.

You could be 2.11 meters tall.
The English system is so weird that I'm not even sure what the main unit of mass is.

That's why I ask that they use decimeters. They're not as big as feet, but it's ridiculous IMHO to use units requiring the numerals be into the hundreds place.
