Despite the saying that "a pint's a pound" to get technical and
specific it isn't.  One ml or cc (they are not the same, by 24 parts
per million, I don't remember which one's larger) of water at 4 degrees
weighs 1 gram.  One fluid ounce of water is 29.57 ml, one ounce weighs
28.35 grams.  So one fluid ounce weighs 1.043 ounces.
