There are 14 pounds in a stone, so approximately 28 and a half.

Google calculator is great. It correctly calculates "what is the
answer to life, the universe and everything?"...

181.6 kg. There is no official measurement called Stones.
(At least, not in the UK).

However, Mick Jagger is reported to weigh a constant 63.5Kg.
Bill Wyman
Keith Richards
Ronnie Wood
Darryl Jones
Charlie Watts is also 63.5kg

Mick Taylor (no longer in the Stones)

so though Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts are skinny, let' assume the rest
of the stones are closer to average, so I'd reckon on the combined
weight of the current members of the Stones to be 419kg

That makes your weight in Stones to be 0.433

I'm sure that someone out there knows more about the weight of members
of the Rolling Stones, in which case, they are welcome to correct me.

That is the weight of two of me.

Now, are you going to ask if you need to buy two tickets?

There sure is, although it's more often (wrongly) called 'stone' - singular,
and with a lower-case 's'. Use it every day.

Official? You trying to make an anti-metrication point?

You don't need to. 'Cos we all know what stones are. So, even, does
Google :-)

I think he means as opposed to the well-known measurement known simply
as "stone"...
