Very true, all hail Lord Kilogram (that's the one, right?). :)

Lord Meter sounds better than Lord Second at least :)

But I’m talking about the Lord of Dark Matter and Kinetic Energy.

Now I regret not setting up the poll as:

If units were people, who would come out the winner in a fight?

my favorite base unit changes from time to time, but currently, it's the ampere, a unit so shocking some people refuse to include it in polls.

Fun, so people like the meter best. I think the second is my favourite.
