Small Thoughts for Small Minds

Out of curiosity, I googled [coins weight] and found some guy that claims that the typical distribution, by weight, of coins that people get as change is:

I weighed the five gallon carboy 2/3 full of coins, weighed an empty carboy, and determined that I had 84.2 pounds of coins.

According to that distribution, and factoring the weight of each type of coins, I have approximately the following quantities of each type of coin:

That totals up to almost $1100! Whoa!

Once we get around to filling this thing up, we’re off on a mini vacation! Boo ya!

(By the way, how do you redeem coins in bulk? The thing at Kroger charges something like 7%, which is too much, in my opinion…)

Thanks go to Dyson [sic]:

"A thirsty man gotta do what a thirsty man gotta do."

He was swimming in the pool, and talking a mile a minute every time he was above water. (Par for the course.) Kel had the hose hanging over the edge, adding a bit of water to the pool. Dyson asked if he could drink the hose water. (When I said, "yes", he replied, "oh, yeah!" in a low voice (for him). My little Barry White…) Then he proceeded to tell me that he swims all the time and that he drinks all the time. Then (see above)….

That’s my boy…

(Sez the man that drinks about twelve sodas during the day and four to eight beers a night, and two or three glasses of water with dinner…)
