Comment Re:Fluid ounces from pounds of water (Score 1) 470
it may not be the world around but it means the mass of a US pint is 450 g which is quite close to 454 g = 1 pound Obviously under the assumption that 1 pound, a measure of force, is equal to the weight of 454 g of mass, so the whole thing is only valid for US measures taken on planet earth.
