say the shell is closer to 600-700 lbs of bacon, rather than 300-400 lbs of
bacon. But then again, I'm measuring in pounds of US bacon rather than
Canadian bacon, so your mileage may vary, eh? Still drinking metric beers,
anyway. >>
LOL--That is a big pile of rusty bacon. Only reason I guessed 300-400 lbs of
bacon was because I have a stripped shell and have rolled the thing over
numerous times. But then I am a school counselor, so I would guess it weighs
the same as 3-5 fat students??? And isn't a cubic centimeter of beer an
awfully small amout to drink?? How many cc's of beer does it take to surpass
the legal blood/alcohol content in ml? My brain hurts!!
