It is much easier to convert between measurement units. E.g. 1cm x 1cm x 1cm is a volume of 1 milliliter and if filled with water has a mass of 1 gram. 10cm x 10cm x 10cm is a volume of 1 liter and if filled with water has a mass of 1 kilogram.

You don't have to remember that 231 cubic inches is a gallon and weighs 8.33 lbs if it's water.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
