Hairy green toads from Mars made Tom Nas say:

>From my handy "units" program:

you have: liter
you want: gallon
        * 2.641721e-01
        / 3.785412e+00
you have: liter
you want: brgallon
        * 2.199688e-01
        / 4.546099e+00
you have: kg
you want: lb
        * 2.204623e+00
        / 4.535924e-01

It claims that newtons and pounds don't mix unit-wise, so I can't
get the conversion for Nm <-> Lb ft.
