I'm not certain , but from what I remember from my grade school days(many years ago) the standard pound is 16 ounces and a pound of gold weighs 12 ounces)

Indeed, Robert. Perhaps our friend can study the difference between "avoirdupois" and "troy."

I'll take whipped cream on that apology there, jicecone. ;)

"A pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of gold because feathers are weighed by avoirdupois weight, which has 16 ounces to a pound,while gold is always weighed by troy weight which only contains 12 ounces to a pound."

Cute.

OK, but a 22 oz. bat is a 22 oz. bat, whether it's made of aluminum, wood, gold, or marzipan.

I don't recommend the marzipan, though you need less pine tar.

The difference between Aluminum and wood is that when a gorgeous female walks by, I can't get Aluminum.
