That's so cool, I had no idea there was an "original" kilo.

There also a original meter.

Adam,
If you are interested in the topic, there is a very nice book titled "Constants of Nature" which traces the history of the original meter of reference, and how scientists have struggled to establish how to defined an unambiguous shared reference to "universal units" - and goes into pretty esoteric questions, such as whether there are any constants in the universe at all...

Back 2 the roots !! give us the original kilo !!
