Without Googling? Yeah, nah, forget it.

Bloody Americans and their outdated system of measurement.

It all depends how big the cup is? (and why would you measure volume by weight?)

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

A cup, when used as a measurement, measures volume, not weight.

We have both fluid ounces and regular ounces here. We're smart like that... Big Grin

EDIT: it seems us 'Murricans have changed the size of the fluid ounce, as well. So in England, its 1/20th of a pint. In 'Murrica it's 1/16 of a pint. Woot.



I missed the Moses and Stephen Austin one. Otherwise I'm a killah!

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
