Ton
Units of mass There are three similar units of mass called the ton:long ton (simply ton in countries such as the United Kingdom which formerly used the Imperial system of weights and measures) is a weight ton or gross ton, and is 2,240 lb (exactly 1,016.0469088 kg). In the UK and most of the areas which used the Imperial system, the metric tonne (1000 kg), which it is conveniently very similar to—less than 2% difference—is the only form of ton legal for trade.In the iron industry in the 17th century and 18th century, a ton shortweight was the standard 2240 lb., whereas a ton longweight was 2400 lb. (the hundredweight being 120 lb.) The long ton is used for petroleum products such as aviation fuel.Deadweight ton (abbreviation 'dwt') is a measure of a ship's carrying capacity, including bunker oil, fresh water, crew and provisions. It is expressed in metric tons (1,000 kg) or long tons (2,240 pounds, about 1,016 kg). This measurement is also used in the U.S. tonnage of naval ships.Increasingly, metric tonnes are being used rather than long tons in measuring the displacement of ships. See tonnage.short ton (usually called simply ton, in the USA or sometimes called a net ton) = 2000 lb (about 907.18474 kg).Harbour ton used in South Africa in the 20th century, equal to 2000 pounds or one short ton.metric ton, usually referred to as a tonne, is 1000 kg (or 1 Mg) or approximately 2,204.6 pounds.

Type O Negative
Type O Negative is a band from BrooklynNew York City. They are notable as one of the earliest successes in the goth/doom metal style. In addition, however, the band has always balanced a variety of non-goth influences, such as The Beatles (sometimes referring to themselves in jest as "The Drab Four"). Despite a dramatic lyrical emphasis on themes of sexromancedepression, and death, Type O is also known for an irreverent and self-deprecating sense of humor. Their popularity grew in 1993 with the album Bloody Kisses, which featured the provocative hits "Christian Woman" and "Black No. 1 (Little Miss Scare-All)". Their most recent album is 2007's Dead Again.
