Really? Wow. Constipated babies!! Good on him. I hope it translates into some benefit for the planet, and doesn't end up just being one more stunt for the record books. Time for a Guiness.

Another thought on metal. Early on,when JW got me started about 3 years ago, I mostly bought silver. I've started putting more money into gold to keep a balance, and to save space, but my thinking is... the Ag/Au ratio is historically about 16; sometimes as low as 10, right now about 60, was close to 70 when I started.(Again; I bought silver dollars back in 79'-81, somewhere;after reading Howard Ruff). So, Ag is cheap relative to Au. + it gets consumed, in lots of ways. Photography, electronics, preservative, whatever. I read that, every time we explode a missile, and I assume they mean from a cruise on up, some unGodly amount of Ag is vaporized, as is gone missing, out of the stockpile. Mostly, all the gold that was, is; not so Ag.. Ag is necessary right now for the functioning of society. Also, it's always been the poor man's gold, used by the masses as their medium of exchange. Personally, I prefer the Oracle at Delphi to the Medium of Exchange, but, I digress. Mexico is talking about silver coinage. Greece is talking about the Oracle. I'm talking later.
