Am I the only oldtimer to remember pound as a unit of mass with the
associated unit of force being poundal?
No, and I remember the slug, too, as a mass unit associated with the pound.
I've now moved to a country where the slug ought to be the national bird,
however, and I've never seen one quite that big.
