Amazingly, the same as a pound of feathers, 16 ounces.
Astonishing as it may seem, the same is true of a pound of cheese, mud, water,
sweat socks, old newspapers, empty beer bottles, cellphones, paper napkins,
talcum powder, anchovies, laundry detergent, furniture polish, blue paint, buttermilk,
toilet paper, galvanized nails, scotch whiskey, graphing calculators, and veggie Pizza.
It's a remarkable world we live in !

A pound is an EXACT measure of weight. So if two things weigh a pound they both weigh the same. As feathers are light, it will take allot of them to make a pound as compared to bricks, (which are heavy) but when you have measured out a pound of each of them, the amounts you have measured are the same weight.
