Embarrassingly, my first reaction was to think, "how about cgs units? Those don't use kilograms!"

Hehehe. Cgs units... it really amuses me that it seems to be astronomers who like them best.

Of course, if we were really uber-cool, we'd use natural units, but somehow I can't see Kirstie Alley going on TV talking about how she lost 460 million Planck-masses on Jenny.
