Well, here goes.... George's horse, if it was white, should
be called 'gray'. When you register horses (for shows, for ID
purposes, etc, etc... the official registrar will NOT accept
white as a color. An all white horse, by official definition,
is GRAY. So there....

As for the next one, I don't remember which is heavier, but one
of them is. This is because gold (and other precious metals)
are measured in TROY ounces, while other things are measured in
some other kind of ounce (starts with letter "a", tough as %&'$$"
to spell....).
