**Sunspace,** pennies have been made from zinc since 1982. But you’re a furriner, so I’ll forgive that. Dang you all for solving the algebra problem first! I deserved credit for it… ---

This is fun… Did you know that if instead of invading Iraq we could have bought off Al Qaeda. We could have just bought them virgins: assuming Al Qaeda has 40,000 members, we could have gotten them 73 virgins apiece (to be competitive) at a cost of $ 100 k each and saved more than 200 Billion dollars. Hell, lets face it, you could probably even get the virgins cheaper (buying in bulk and all) and saved even more! :eek: (I am so going to hell…) ---

[QUOTE=Sunspace] A wall of pennies 180 metres tall… I love the Dope. 🙂 Do that many pennies exist, or would we have to make a custom order? And how much copper would that take? [/QUOTE] I’m wondering if there is a new construction trade in the making here… Lotta superglue and pennies… Behold my new home…FORT LINCOLN!!!
