“The tombstone of coinage, arguably the most important measure in history, could read: Born Lydia, Anatolia, 7th century B.C. Died Washington, D.C., 20th century A.D.”

“What weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold? sounds like a trick question for third-graders, for which the answer should be, A pound is the same no matter what it weighs! Except it doesn’t. A pound of feathers is heavier than one of gold by 22 percent, because plumage and precious metals in the United States are weighed according to different pounds.”

“Such simple questions as How many feet are in a mile? or What’s the number of square feet in an acre? produce the not-so-simple answers of 5,280 and 43,560.”
