cvfd1399 0 #1 December 1, 2004 I wonder if the day after christmas everyone in the whole USA took all the present wrappings, boxes, styrofoam, plastic, bows and put them in a big pile how big it would be... any guesses? We could then take all the christmas trees dry them out till they are like T.N.T. throw them on top of the pile and light it on fire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weight would be the same, but volume could vary by as much as a landfill or two. A pile that big being lit on fire... whoa... the question would then be, how far up in space could you be and still see a red dot and huge black plume with the naked eye? On a sour note, astronauts in either the Space Shuttle or ISS noted being able to see the smoke plumes over Manhattan after the WTC attacks on 9/11..."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
