The consensus was that Grant's tomb is empty (a "cenotaph").
Someone else quibbled that no-one can be "buried" in a tomb, which is
above the surface of the earth.

Lots of folks flamed me by mail and on the net about "white" horses
being registered as "grey" [gray, or however ya spell it].  Not being in the
horse registry business, I must plead ignorance on this one.

Apparently true (no flames directed at me for THIS one).
>>	An ounce of lead or an ounce of gold.
>	The gold (12 troy oz./lb vs. 16 avoirdupois oz./lb, same lb.)
I really flubbed on this one.  The pound is NOT the same.  There still is
a difference in the ounce in spite of this but it is narrower than an equiv-
alent pound would imply (the avoirdupois pound is heavier) but the troy ounce
is still heavier than the avoirdupois ounce.
It's all a quibble anyway; WHOSE ounce are ya using?
