Hopefully, even a little less

"If you had 400 tons of something in your kitchen, you would notice it." –Bill Nye


Bill Nye The Science guy?


The very same. Mr. Nye now occasionally works as a freelance science guy for CNN, possibly among other places. I can't be bothered to look it up.

The important thing to note here is that he was explaining the latest attempt to stop the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. Apparently, they're going to dump 400 tons of something down into the well. He then went on to explain that 400 tons of something is a lot...using the visualization above.


I don't know if 400 tons of anything would even fit in your kitchen. It would have to be something pretty dense.
