I've been thinking of changing it but can't think of something to top it.

I don’t mean to be, but I’m very strong, but the strange thing is I do nothing to deserve strength. I weigh about 80 kilograms, not sure what that is in pounds.

The conversion's pretty simple: 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds 80 kilograms = 80 * 2.2 = 176 pounds I'm kind of surprised this thread is in pounds instead of kg. I'm American, so I'm not objecting, but most people here aren't, and us Yanks have earned a bad reputation of being extremely geocentric

72 kilos, which is 159 pounds. I look like a skinny dude, although I am not one in reality.
While we're at it, how does one go from centimetres(spelling?)to the american system?

I'll answer the poll by saying I'm short and fat, and leave it at that.

In the US you would say you're "six-one" (6 feet 1 inch).

I come from the metric part of the world so: 1 Mts 67 Cms and 62 Kgms. Not a big guy...

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
