your face when you realize the avoirdupois system of weights and measurements (our own system in the united states) is fairly intuitive to computer guys.

gram = 1/256 * lb
ounce = 1/16 * lb
(ounce^2 = gram)

Hey britain, why are you still using an archaic system based on something as arbitrary as how many fingers you have?
