which costs more a pound of feathers or a pound of lead
i was entirely ready to make a silly comment about the economic implications of different locations having different natural resource distributions

im gonna be real i fogor that "pound" has two meanings until i read this comment. it was just "haha what if the funny riddles man said that". i feel likie i just tripped into a sewer and came out in narnia
