Dear All,
It's a bit of a stretch to call this a metric posting, but here goes.
When you see 22,000 lbs on a YouTube site, you might immediately think
10 000 kilograms or 10 tonnes.
Well that was my initial thought too. But the video went to other
places from there.
See: http://j-walkblog.com/index.php?/weblog/posts/moving_big_rocks
I think the engineers among our readers might like this short video
anyway.
Cheers,
Pat Naughtin
