Hello all,

I was finishing up Quantum Destinies chapter 13 when I ran into a little
snag.  What are the units of measurement that were used for distance and
weight in China and Japan before they adopted the Metric system?

I tried searching the Web, but I didn't have much luck.

Well, I don't know about the Japanese, but the ancient measure of distance
in China is the 'li'.  I'm afraid that I've forgotten the conversion from
miles/klicks to li, though.

The sardines weren't worth the trouble.  A few more shots, then 
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode.  Ducking around a corner, 
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of 
my Anime supplier.

One look at his face and I knew that I was betrayed.  "Tell me."
I insisted.  He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance.  Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao." he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the 
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
