= = =

I have been reading about a pound of CO2.

It is heavier.

which one is heaver ?

water, dirt,gold, co2 ?

Hmmmmm......?

co2 does seem to carry a lot of weight thees days, especially in the media and gov. ....
and gold has fallen from 2000+ to 1950 so it looks like it must be getting heaver and harder to carry ....

but I think lead gets the prize .... because you have to add in for the brass ....

just saying ..

[HartleyMBaldwin]

You don’t know, then. OK.

[1of10]

don't know,

In the real world ...
gold 1 lb weighs 373 grams
lead 1 lb weighs 454 grams

It would have been funnier if you had just schooled me
with a bit of sarcasm or smack.

I teed it up for you and you
........ bunted

and I still say ...you have to add for the brass ..

get it ... lead and brass ?

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Got it. Very clever.
