Neither had I, but it calculates right, though.
UK
16oz=1lb
20 floz = 1pint
8 pints = 160 fl oz = 10lb

"A pint of pure water
Weighs a pound and a quarter"

US
16oz=1lb
16 floz = 1 pint

Hate to say it, but the US values are more consistent.
(Here I went off googling)

Metric is better
I litre = 1 kg = 1000 cc
1 tonne = 1000kg = 1 metre cubed

Just a pity the measurements aren't the right size for anything you want
to measure in every day life.
