  More than I can afford!

  I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

  A little bit over 120 grams based on some back of the envelope calculations
  
  Edit: D'OH! I only squared 2.54, not cubed it. I agree with ziggy at just over 310 grams, now.

  I believe it's about 19 grams per cubic centimeter. There's about 2.54 cm in an inch, so one cubic inch is 2.54^3 = about 16.4 cm^3.
  
  So I'll say 19 * 16.4 = 311.6 grams, or about 11+ ounces (avoirdupois).

  Yep almost exactly 10 troy oz. Most people don't realize just how heavy gold really is. A cube of gold 14 1/3 inches on a side would weigh one standard ton. A bar the size of a standard house brick (2X4X8) weighs 43 pounds.
