Stone weight?

Lately I have noticed people stating their weight in stones, i.e. 10 stones, 13 stones etc.

What exactly do they mean by stones? What is the base stone weight?

    It's some British system that nobody else really knows or understands.

    I believe 1 stone = 14 pounds = 6.35 kilos.
