Where did you get that? This table says: Aluminum 0.215 Copper 0.092 Iron 0.107 Lead 0.031 http://phoenix.phys.clemson.edu/labs/223/spheat/index.html (units are cal/g/C) Google found similar numbers in several other tables. Perhaps I'm being too picky on what you mean by "around", but a factor of 7 seems big enough to be interesting. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
