If they weren't already dead, the dummies who dreamed up our weights and measures should be shot for creating such a screwed up system. Maybe along with nitpickers like me! Actually 1000 troy oz = 31,103 grams = 31.103 kg = 68.55 lb. But a 1000 oz of prime rib really does weigh 62.5 lb. (FWIW) A 1000 oz of Grey Goose may not weigh either one. English/metric is bad enough but that avoirdupois/troy thang is enough to make you drink, forgetting entirely about the fluid ozs. answers.com Which is OK if you can afford a porter for the heavy bags -g-
