@codewiz Well, standard... 🙂

The English stone under law varied by commodity and in practice varied according to local standards. The Assize of Weights and Measures, a statute of uncertain date from c. 1300, describes stones of 5 merchants' pounds used for glass; stones of 8 lb. used for beeswax, sugar, pepper, alum, cumin, almonds,[16] cinnamon, and nutmegs;[17] stones of 12 lb. used for lead; and the London stone of 12+1⁄2 lb. used for wool.[16][17] In 1350 Edward III issued a new statute defining the stone weight, to be used for wool and "other Merchandizes", at 14 pounds,[nb 2] reaffirmed by Henry VII in 1495.

It was a long shot, and I didn't feel good about it, but I snatched up the dragon's egg and dangled it over the side of the mountain.

The dragon's eyes widened, his voice trembling, "You wouldn't dare!"

"Well, an omelette would take too long," I bluffed.

There was a long silence, and my arms started to ache.

"Fine," the dragon growled, "I'll kidnap your wicked mind-controlling sister-in-law, princess."

I sighed with relief, "Thank you."

I’d rather search for 500 more hours
