Interesting Physics Riddle I Devised

[QUOTE="Klystron, post: 6230658, member: 614295"] Why does the geometer measure a bottle of vodka by weight (one pound) instead of by liquid volume (liter or quart)? Pretty sure you are not referring to Pounds Sterling as cost per bottle. "Beam" in English has many different meanings but you ambiguously use "beam": [LIST] [*]smile (verb) [*]transmit electromagnetic radiation and/or particles (verb) [*]the transmitted object -- radiation a/o particles; e.g., gamma ray beam (noun) [/LIST] The astrophysicist is only reading papers not conducting gamma ray experiments. I presume her "beam" is also a smile and the vodka seller's departure speed simile? [Edit: I caught the reference to Robert Pound and the use of Iron lattices used in that experiment and latices formed by Catalan numbers; but that experiment verified Relativity.] Robert Pound has no relation to "funta" in Russian that I can detect; nor pound-as-weight to geometry. I distantly remember a joke about the Doppler effect and a street vendor... [/QUOTE]
