I wonder how many cellphones it took to make a bar of gold that big. |

that is quite an impure gold bar...
i like the stories of copper wire being stolen from construction sites because its is so valuable (being a useful metal whereas gold is useless apart from looking pretty).
on a side note i wonder where all those dangerous batteries end up. i think i saw a story on the news one night that said half the computers that are dumped (it is illegal to do this) end up in some poor african country with battery acid and other goodies strewn across the computer graveyard....good times.... |
