9 minutes glatt may be a new record

Spex: Lackawanna coal mine museum

glatt · 11-21-2011, 02:26 PM

I thought that was what it was called, but now I'm seeing another place calling it "Pennsylvania Anthracite Heritage Museum."

Edit: Whatever the name of the place, it's that mine museum you can tour in Scranton.

Are you frickin Kreskin, or what?

It's both.

3 minutes! he beats his old record before it's officially confirmed...!

Pssst! UT! Does he have some super secret moderator ability that allows him to see the name or origin of the images, or allows him to read our minds from long distance?

Well, I've been in that mine. My family lives up that way, and we were visiting, and it was like the third rainy day in a row, and we were going stir crazy in the cottage on the lake, so we went off to tour a coal mine.

I'd forgotten about it. I'll have to take my kids next time we're up there and it's raining.

Here's a question. How much coal is in that cart behind the donkey?

infinite monkey · 11-21-2011, 03:24 PM

So we need to find places glatt's never been.

Quick, go to Venus and get a pic!

It was worth a lot more before it was put behind the donkey.

Or, how much is that donkey in the window.

Ba dum dum

According to our tour guide, if I remember this correctly, one of those carts holds 16 tons. And that's where that song comes from. But when I look at it, it seems like it would hold less than that. But I don't really know the weight of coal.

infinite monkey · 11-21-2011, 03:29 PM

Which weighs more, a ton of coal or a ton of feathers?

I did the tour, too. I have no idea how much coal is in the cart.

OK, here's one. I'm heading home, but if nobody gets it, I'll answer in the morning.

Where is this?

infinite monkey · 11-21-2011, 03:34 PM

Folks used to come through the farm market and ask me how much one of those big rolls of hay or straw or whatever the heck they were (yeah, some country girl, eh?) WEIGHED, and I was like...um...I don't know. I don't think our scales go up that high. Or are that big.
