Hey, Booth, you ain't so smart!  Any common street drug dealer knows
it's 2.2 pounds per kilo.  Cripes, no wonder the U.S. never adopted
the metric system.  With idiots like you running around doing
bass-ackwards conversions, the streets wouldn't be safe anymore.

227 pounds / 2.2 pounds per kg = 103.18 kg of TexBlast 

> Hmmm, exactly 500 kg?  (OK, 500.21).  Odd coincidence? 

Not quite, eh?
