Fallout 3 - Kotaku Bureau of Weights & Measures

From the someone-has-too-much-time department comes the Kotaku Bureau of Weights & Measures Studies Fallout, Physics, Also Beer.  Kotaku looks at some of the silly weight comparisons in Fallout and decides beer should be the universal reference standard:

What bothered me about Fallout was not so much that the heavy weapons, like a Flamer, weighed only "15." Maybe they're made from futuristic lightweight metal. No, it's more that a pair of freaking TWEEZERS was equivalent in weight to a motorcycle helmet. It's not even that the WG figure represents a total encumbrance factor – that either the item's size or fragility makes it difficult to carry - because a pool cue has the same WG figure: 1.
