Why are straw weights lighter than flyweights?

Fly weights are as small as flies. Straw weights are small enough to be sucked through a straw. Flies are too big to be sucked through a straw. I thought everyone already knew this.
 
Why are featherweights heavier than bantamweights?

bantams are a breed of small chickens yet they are under featherweight when they are made up of many feathers
 
other things to ponder...

why is it called a Hot Water Heater when you don't
need to heat hot water?

why is there a "w" sound in the number ONE with no "w"?
and yet, the number TWO has a "w" but no "w" sound?

A Bantam is a minature chicken which is way heavier than a feather.
