metric quantification weirdness

Metric measurements are nice, imo - they allow me to use nice counting numbers that and up neatly. Most of the time. Here's a bit of weirdness that works in spite of the cross-system measurements:

My [current] Recipe for Rice

  • 1 pound of white rice
  • 1 liter of potable water

The above measurements, if combined in a pot, brought to a boil, then covered and cooked over the lowest possible fire for exactly 20 minutes will produce enough cocked white rice for 3 people for one day. Earth Time.
