Pounds and kilograms are units of force. The only difference is 1 kg is 2.205 lb. Both have to be divided by the respective acceleration of gravity in their units for the location involved, metric or english, to get mass.

PhD ME? I can't imagine the amount of math involved in getting that o_O
Do tell, if kg/g = mass, what units are used? I mean, if you're right, then all I've learned in Physics I, II, Thermodynamics and Statics is fundamentally incorrect! :O Even my TI89 says _lb*_g = _lbf. You must be yankin' my chain or something.
