Does anybody have a pounds to stones conversion chart?
This story leaves two questions unanswered: (1) How do you determine who the fattest person for an entire country is? (2) Just how fat is "55 stone"?

About Me
- Name: Steve Hyden
- Location: Appleton, Wisconsin
My name is Steve and I'm a newspaper reporter and writer living in northeast Wisconsin, which is just below the armpit created by the bulk of the state and the peninsula. I don't live in the actual armpit, which is Green Bay, which is a place where fat people sit on their porches and watch traffic go by when the Packers aren't in season. I live in Appleton, a place where slightly less fat people do slightly more interesting things, like watch NASCAR, which is traffic with better camera work. I like living here 79 percent of the time. I fancy myself a deep thinker, an iconoclast, a man who can enjoy both high and low culture. Think Chuck Klosterman with a dose of Jack Nicholson from "Five Easy Pieces." However, I suspect I am not nearly as cool as I think I am. I may in fact be a dork. For example, look at how I described myself a few sentences earlier. What can I say? I'm the guy who started listening to the Clash when he was 13 not because he was reacting against the repressive Republican regime he had lived under most of his life, but because John Cusack wore a Clash T-shirt in "Say Anything..."

770 pounds. That's nothing compared to the guy from National Enquirer!
cool trick = you can convert almost anything with the google search bar. Time, weight, distances, etc.
type in "55 stone to pounds" or anything, like "273 inches to meters," or "5 days to minutes" or whatever.

steve... of course i have a conversion chart for that.. better yet it's an entire program.
one of my first months on the job as an engineer I was laughed at for not having the convert program. man.. .being laughed at by engineers really hurts... especially when you try and distance yourself
yup... a stone is 14 pounds..(the pounds we know... if you're talking troy then it's more like a stone = 17.01 pounds (troy)
p.s.
today is my birthday. i'm alone and in a hotel room 600 miles from home, yet very content. i'm about to take myself out to dinner and then a movie. per your recommendation i'm going to see munich.
pps or whatever people say for a 3rd comment in a row.
what does ps stand for anway? too lazy to google... although just asking has used more.. nvm
"He would eat six fried eggs, bacon and a whole loaf of bread for breakfast and scoffed seven cream cakes in a sitting." reminds me of a book i read in 6th grade about the 85-86 bears... the chapter on the Fridge...
The true measure of a person should be measured in stones.
Kidney stones.
