Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain

You can fit into a pair of pants two sizes smaller, but still weigh the same if you were all fat before and now have muscle. How many feathers does it take to make a pound??

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2004/03/10, 09:47 AM Physics, smhizzics. A pound is a pound, a rose by any other name.... People are just confused because you weigh more when you are muscular than when you are fatty. Arguing semantics doesn't clarify that. The comparison of the size of a pound of feathers and a pound of poattaoes is much more relevant and helpful. -------------- "To be able to go to the gym and train hard is a joy and a privelege, even though the hard work necessitates driving yourself through considerable discomfort.

	2004/03/10, 10:20 AM A couple of questions.... If my employees tell me to go pound sand how does that work out in kilos?? Is a pounding headache worse than a splitting headache and how many grams of asperin do I take for each. How many ounces in a dog pound?? Same question in kilos. How many pounds in a dollar? Same question for francs and pounds. Sorry to compound the issue but those who know me understand. -------------- The greatest mystery of life is who we truly are. Charlie

neiltilley Posts: 325 Joined: 2003/03/09	2004/03/10, 10:38 AM I bet pound for pound. That a kilo comparison to pounds or francs. Is a headache in anyones estimation... I'm still wondering how many ounces to the pound, pounds to the stone. Never understood pounds to kilos- What's a kilo? How many groats in a pound? How many guineas? What do they weigh? How do you spend them? What's money got to do with monkeys and ponys? I thought greenbacks were fish? Are we really here at all? Is this the matrix? I'd rather fall on a bag full of feathers(a pound maybe?... than a pound of potatoes!
