I don't think any old timers around lived in days where people walked around carrying swords and daggers.pjalive21 said:

*Handshakes were originally meant to make sure that the person you were meeting wasn’t carrying a concealed weapon. The hand clasp proved that your hand was empty and shaking was meant to dislodge any weapons hiding up the sleeve.
Godfather.
But that is why you shake with your right hand, since over 90% of the population is right handed, they were most likely armed with their right hand.

It's why left handers were considered untrustworthy and somewhat shady. The word sinister comes from the old French sinistre , which means situated or directed to the left side.mace1229 said:

What weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold? We've all heard that.
If you buy a pound of feathers and a pound of gold, the feathers will actually weigh more.
That is because the standard pound (officially called the avoirdupois system) is 16 oz to a pound that we all use today.
Precious metals are measured differently, they use the Troy ounce, which if very close to the standard ounce, but only 12 Troy oz in a pound. When you look up the value of gold, or your jeweler tells your your ring has 1 oz of gold, it's the Troy oz always being used, and 12 of these ounces in a pound.
So when buying a pound of feathers and a pound of gold, the feathers weigh more.0 -
