That's really a trick question, you know. A pound of feathers is heavier than a pound of gold.

The reason is, gold is measured and sold by the Troy ounce, and there are just a little more than 14 Troy ounces in a pound.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
