Oh, darn! I’m never weighing myself on a Kg scale again. I gained weight just by reading this article!

The mystery is that they were all made of the same material.Platinum-iridium, no big deal. Once our gold gets magicked away, one microgram at a time, we are finished.

In the famous words of Jesus Christ "Heaven & Earth will pass away but my words will endure forever!"
In light of this scientific evidence I'd say that Jesus was hinting at a LOT of stuff that we are barely discovering now.
To: dighton
Given that atmospheric platinum is measurable due to catalytic converters, my first guess is that it’s plain old sublimation at work.
Are they stored under vacuum by any chance?
To: prophetic
I think Jesus had in mind something a little faster than 50 micrograms in a century.
To: Westlander
This will make cocaine dealers around the world quite happy.
To: SteveMcKing
Actually I’d think that they must be in a vacuum since a fluid (includes gases) causes buoyancy, which would affect the measurement slightly. Or maybe they account for that mathematically.
I seem to be talking to myself in any case.
To: SteveMcKing
I seem to be talking to myself in any case.Wasnt ignoring your question, but flat-out didnt know.

Either that or the Kg is the same and gravity is getting gradually weaker.

An old girlfriend loved that movie, which I remember hardly at all. Would it be fair to say (of it, not her), a little sprawling and undisciplined?

LOL!
If there’s a prototype for the pound, I wonder if it’s weight is changing, too.
