Being the geek I am I wondered how many 2x4s that would be. Not having any
to hand (or a scientific scale) I looked it up. It's amazing, everything
geeky I could think of asking has already been thought, asked and answered.
Anyway from http://news.lugnet.com/market/shipping/?n=362
a 1x8 weighs some 3.06g which means a (metric) tonne 1000kg is around
327,000 bricks.
Some more work with the calculator...
which is a block 160 studs long, 160 wide and 120 high
or 1.28m by 1.28m by 0.96m
or if built into a one thickness wall, 3.2m high, about 2.016m long.
or if laid end to end, 2.6km
