…pound for pound, feathers weigh more than gold.
…squirrels are the only other mammal than humans that have mastered the garrote.
…John Kerry has a plan.
>
He does?
He mentioned that in the last debate some 20+ times, but didn’t bother to take the time to tell us what these wonderful plans are.
Oh, by the way, first???
Are you suggesting this plan involves the squirrels, somehow? That would explain why it’s a secret- and how he can afford to pull the troops out. He’ll replace them with squirels… they’ll work for peanuts!
How it it possible that feathers “way” more than gold, pound for pound. If one pound of feathers weighs one pound, and one pound of gold weighs one pound, then they weigh the same: one pound. I think what you meant to say was that feathers are denser than gold; that the between equal volumes of gold and feathers, the feathers would weigh more. In science they call that denisty. D= m/v
I know Kerrys plan!
After he puts the foil hats on his entire cabinet, he will hire ninja squirrles to squirt Heintz ketchup all over the public libraries and gay bath houses. He will then set fire to the constitution and proceed to make love to some kind of farm animal, possibly a goat…
Frank J. is always picking on telephones in gay bars!
This is a federal hate crime. Jeeves (where is that squirrel when you need it) bring me my nuts! I am going to make a statement.
A guinea pig is not from Guinea but a rodent from South America.
A firefly is not a fly, but a beetle.
A giant panda bear is really a member of the racoon family.
A black panther is really a leopard that has a solid black coat rather then a spotted one.
Peanuts are not really nuts. The majority of nuts grow on trees while peauts grow underground. They are classified as a legume — part of the pea family.
A cucumber is not a vegetable but a fruit.
It’s true, a pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of gold. Gold is measured 12 troy ounces to the troy pound, 373.24 grams mass. Whereas feathers are measured in good old Anglo-Saxon, native subjugating pounds, one pound being 453.59 grams mass. So feathers do weigh more than gold, pound for pound. (reference http://lynncoins.com/troy_ounce.htm)
This only confirms Frank J.’s evil cleverness and his conspiracy with the garotte wielding squirrels. And I know only because of my evil cleverness, my conspiracy with the garotte wielding squirrels, and my superior Kung Fu! Frank J. was not counting on my superior Kung Fu!
Mr Fu –
The term you are looking for is “Avoirdupois pounds.” And of course, you are correct, one Avoirdupois pound of feathers is 1.2152 times as heavy as one Troy pound of gold.
Could hire the squirrels to kill the monkeys?
I dunno nuttin’ about the weight of a pound of gold vs. the weight of a pound of feathers, but I do know how to calculate the weight of a bullet. There are 252.7 grains in one cubic inch of water. To calculate the total bullet weight in grains, the bullet volume, in cubic inches, is multiplied by the specific gravity value, and then by 252.7. The product is bullet weight in grains.
Fun facts to know and tell!!
Maybe Kerry’s plan is to say that he has a plan. If Kerry is asked what the plan is he says, “If you have to ask you are too dumb to understand the explanation. I have a plan and I am the plan. In fact I am the planet, not to be confused with a small piano or miniture harpsichord.” Chirac will be bent to Kerry’s will because he is afraid that Kerry will either tell him “the plan” or ask Chiract to explain his “plan.” Everything is all planned out. Meanwhile Kerry plays his plannete.
I know about avoirdupois vs troy, and Kerry’s plan, but not since Mario Puzo wrote about the death of Luca Brazi have I seen a reference to garrote. Did squirrels kills Luca?
Thank you, Drew. I try to use French as little as possible. And if it were necessary I would also be careful to distinguish pounds force from pounds mass. I also avoid using slugs whenever possible.
Hmmm, wouldn’t a mass unit called a “squirrel” be interesting? Or even a “monkey.” But perhaps “monkey” is best left as a unit to measure evil. “So this Democrat, we was about nine monkeys or so evil, and…..”
Give me the good old Furlongs/Frickin’ slugs/Fortnights system over the Meter/Kilogram/S system any day. If you can’t handle manly conversion factors, don’t do physics.
Mike_rdr, arrr! I prefer feet / seconds / grains / and wound channel volume measured in “fists.” But I also grok pi = c = h-bar = nu = 1, but that often puts one in the company of cgs fans. Though I do hold a certain fond regard for a “newton” of force. Sir Isaac had it all goin’ on! Even that cookie thing. And don’t get me started on J.C. Maxwell!
Or confirmed, really. Doesn’t matter anyhow; Kerry’s just a puppet for the dems so they can push Hillary and try and look all progressive.
I say we run Condi if they pull that crap. We’ll look even more progressive!

is it a fuzzy plan?

um, weigh?

Your equation is wrong. Feather weigh more than gold.
And damn you, homophones!

Frank J., as always, is right. However, he neglects to point out that ounce for ounce, gold weighs more than feathers…

I think what Frank is trying to say is,
Kerry’s plan is to garrote gold plated squirrel feathers.
It all makes sense now.
A guinea pig is not from Guinea but a rodent from South America.
A firefly is not a fly, but a beetle.
A giant panda bear is really a member of the racoon family.

I’ve also heard tell that Kerry served in Vietnam? Anyone heard anything about that?
kerry has a plan and he served in vietnam, squirrels have been stomped on by bush for so long…now kerry will get medieval…cause he has a plan!

I knew squirrels were evil… but not as evil as monkies.
Kerry’s plan: sell the US to the UN for…
ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS!
I’m sure Mr. Fu knows the right term, but he didn’t want to use such a sissy french word that no patriotic American even knows how to pronounce.
Is it because the feathers have more gravitas when plucked from the south end of a north bound kerry?
i think john kerry’s plan is to just whine whenever his opponents try to criticize him:

And the third, unlike the first two, has yet to be proven.
