Its not a question of weight its what it feeeeeelllssss like that counts. Consider if both are a single unit that weighs 1lb at sea level on the earth. A block of lead would be pretty small and a hazard to pick up. Its both poisonous and a pinch point hazard if dropped on your toe. Which by the way if you drop it from shoulder height it will hit. Okay the probablity starts high and goes up in direct corelation to the soreness of said toe. Unless of coarse you attempt it on purpose then the inverse is true.
In contrast a 1lb feather hoisted in the same configuration will just feel funny.
But keep in mind the original posted said the weight was not lifted. Therefore, The lead weight's natural toe attraction will still make it a hazard. Let me illuminate further. Place a 1lb lead block on the floor of a room in a building at sea level on earth, take off your shoes and dance the Ramba (the forbiden dance). You have a 90% chance of stubbing you toe on the lead before the 14th stanza of the refrain. Unless your toe is sore from dropping the lead on it during the set up for the test. Then of coarse the chance increases with the inverse square of the size of the block and its distance from the starting point of the Ramba.
Attempting the same experiment with a 1lb feather in the same test configuration would be silly.

I believe a one pound feather would be a much larger volume than the lead. This would be more aqward to pick up and therefore more of a hazard.

My grandma has a couple old goose down pillows that I swear are 10 pounds. And they're about as thick as a pancake..

What I really want to know is the quantity of fibrous tree materials which could be aerially propelled if, in fact, this were possible to be done at the hands of the American lowland Marmot?

I believe he stated the weight was not lifted before men, perhaps it weighs less if lifted in solitude? Perhaps the weight of the gaze of onlookers would add 30%?
