Why O Evolution are we STILL suffering from the absurd English units?

When my son was born almost five years ago, Stanford University recorded his
birth weight in kilos.  It came out to 3.999 grams.  I knew that a standard
sheet of paper is about 6 grams, so I quickly took a paper bill out of my
wallet and dropped it on the scale.  He went to 4.000 kilos.  He was born at
0024 on 6-24-06 at a weight of 4 kilos.
