    Actually, 1000 Kg (2240 lbs) is exactly one long ton, or "tonne."

    A short ton is just a "ton" in America, and is 2000 pounds, or about 907 Kg.

    So it's neither "about" nor "short," but it is a tonne and damn cool.

    Is this god hungry or angry? Or perhaps angry about being hungry?

    @Premium Internet: If I'm not mistaken, 1,000 kg = 0.98 long ton and 1.1 short ton (US ton). So the answer is almost a long ton, a little over a short ton.

    I actually got to see that this last spring in Venice. We passed it a bunch of times in a vaporetto. It seemed super-rad.

    This thing is killer!

    Evey W? Am I mistaken or are its' front teeth made of military cannon shells? The length and color are why I ask.

    oops...
    tried tyo say:

    1000 kg = 1 tonne
    just like 1 litre = 1000 cubic centimeters and so on...

    Metric.

    Its logical. get some.

    (tell me, how many cubic inches to the gallon?, how many inches to the mile?)
