An Ounce of This or That

All of the gold ever mined can fit into a cube with 72-foot sides, Stuart Simmons, a researcher from University of Auckland, New Zealand sais. How did that song go “all the gold in California is in the bank in Beverly Hills in somebody else’s name …”

So which would you rather have, one ounce of gold or two Mindstorms. 349.99 cad. Lego. It would be nice to be able to keep some gold but like most I presume I would soon spend it. What better way than on a Lego robot?

I know we usually use the word “sterling” when we talk of someone’s character which is silver but I think it would be nice if there were a few more people around who had in addition to a heart of gold a character of gold too, ‘virtually indestructible’. Unfortunately such character is ‘extremely rare’.
