Why do we use stones for weight?

A stone is 14 pounds or 6.35 Kilograms. I've heard people say their weight is 8 1/2 stones. And I'm like great, now I have to get out a f#cking calculator. Just use normal Weight!

Right?! Standard units of measurements, people! For example, I’m 1.22 Danny Divitos tall, and I weight about 93,000 skittles.
