Yep. We're still catching up on a shit-ton of stuff.
Aah, you gotta love imperial units! But how much is that in burning Libraries of Congress?
A ton is a legitimate metric unit, 1,000 kilograms.
Except in some places it has to be spelled "tonne", or "metric ton" to clarify.
As long as it's not a metric ton of printed out bug reports, we're ok 8-)
The metric version is always spelt tonne as far as I'm aware. But I think the joke was the use of "shit-ton" as a unit.
