You are correct.

I watched an old rerun of the "The Jeffersons" last night, when George met Mr. Bentley (the British guy). Bentley looked at George and figured he weighed about 10 stone...and then explained to George that meant 140 lbs.

And because that was the perfect weight for Mr Bentley (who had a bad back), Bentley dropped to the floor on his stomach and asked George to walk over his back.

Moral of the story - less reading, more TV. :)
