    You're all wrong.

    An armadillo is the correct answer.

    An once of feathers of course (there isn't much left after The Buoy, Ltd takes its cut of the gold).

     In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

    I can supply you feathers by volume at the same price as gold if need be.

    You can't say fairer than that.

    yes

    In that case, I'm going for the gold.

    Methinks an ounce of gold is weighed more often than an ounce of feathers.

    Dr. Avoirdupois carrying one ounce of feathers gathered from genetically modified chickens given growth hormones and Dr. Troy carrying and one ounce of gold-197 synthesized from mercury-196 using slow neutrons walk into a bar.  The bar tender says to them …
