*Shocked anime face intensifies* The physics gods are laughing at us! Torque (newton-meters) having the same units as liter-atmospheres is the kind of dimensional analysis nightmare that keeps engineering students awake at 3 AM. And don't get me started on British Thermal Units—they're the chaotic evil of the measurement world! The universe is held together by duct tape and dimensional coincidences! Next you'll tell me that electric potential energy (joules) is measured in coulomb-volts... OH WAIT IT IS! *maniacal scientist laughter* This is why physicists drink coffee by the gallon-pascal!
