Depending on the size of the eggs, a different number of eggs fit within a pound. Based on the six different categories defined by the state of Massachusetts, here are the number of eggs that fit within a pound:

Jumbo: Depends on weight
Extra Large: 6 - 7
Large: 7 - 8
Medium: 8 - 9
Small: 9 - 10
Peewee: Depends on weight

Since peewee eggs are any eggs smaller than 1.5 oz. and jumbo eggs are any eggs larger than 2.5 oz., they can vary in weight. Source: http://www.state.ma.us/legis/laws/mgl/94-90B.htm

It's "an H", not "a H". You use an "an" when the next word begins with a vowel sound, which in this case is "a". Source: http://www.bergen.edu/library/learning/ ... erules.htm

Grey is the _real_ spelling, Gray is the _usian_ spelling.

Sorry about taking so long to respond. Being in another country tends to hinder internet access.

After much searching on the internet, I can't find a sure reason as to why US money is green. It probably has something to do with a specific shade and texture of dye, though, that are hard to replicate unless you know the specific chemicals, a way to combat counterfiting.

A few terms need to be clarified before I can answer this. A PC is a personal computer, which Apple and Intel-compatible computers both are. In reality, there are dozens of different architectures that personal computers are based on, the two most prominent being x86 (Intel-compatible) and Mac. While there are a lot of minor advantages and disadvantages that we could argue about, in reality, neither of them has a clear advantage over the other except that x86 has more software written for it.

The different colors in fireworks come from different metals that are ignited when the explosive detonates. For example, magnesium is used to create the bright white flares.

Nope, stress can't cause your hair to gray. Your genes, and sometimes natural causes, determine when your hair starts to fade.

According to Webster's dictionary, grey is just a different spelling of gray.
