FallinWoman 1 #13 August 22, 2004 1. I disagree with ferret as being the right answer. I would say that my human companions are more important to me than any pet. ~Anne I'm a Doll!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 1,649 #16 August 22, 2004 QuoteI dunno. But I did learn something interestesting a couple of days ago. A pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of gold. And an ounce of feathers (avoirdupois) weighs less than an ounce of gold (troy). This is really a good argument in favor of using SI units....

Dagny 0 #17 August 22, 2004 QuoteA pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of gold. Hey, Law... How does a pound of feathers weigh more than a pound of gold when they both weigh...a pound? I mean, obviously it would take a LOT more feathers to achieve a pound than gold, but still. 16oz is 16oz, right? Every time I see that I keep wondering about it. Then again, I'm sure there's a reason I'm not a MENSA member, so can anyone explain that one to me? Thanks.

Dagny 0 #18 August 22, 2004 QuoteAnd an ounce of feathers (avoirdupois) weighs less than an ounce of gold (troy). This is really a good argument in favor of using SI units. See, this I understand. One ounce is equal to 28.3495231 grams while one troy ounce (a unit of measure for gold) is equal to 31.1035 grams. So, in that respect, one troy ounce of gold is heaver than one ounce of anything else quantified by units of measure in ounces. Oh, did y'all know that avoirdupois is just another word for weight or heaviness? New one on me, thanks kallend!Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dagny 0 #19 August 22, 2004 Okay, nevermind. I just figured it out. Gold (and other precious metals) are measured in troy. A troy pound of gold is equal to 12 ounces (373.242 grams). A standard pound is equal to 16 ounces (453.592 grams). So, a standard 12 ounces is equal to 340.2 grams. Long story short...A pound of feathers = 453.6 oz While a troy pound of gold = 373.2 oz Therefore, a pound of feathers weigh 80.4g (2.8oz) more than a troy pound of gold Alrighty-then. Good to know. Now, all is right with the world and I can get back to studying respiratory. Edit to say: Ferrets rock! Damn cool pets. And so does wine. Especially a nice Riesling with a fondue dinner followed by chocolate. That is all.Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
