Apology for my trivia post

Hi Noreen:

Geesh, must be my server, I missed your trivia post. I can't imagine it
being mindless though!
If I were you I'd chalk it up to...."to each his/her own"!
Wishing you all the best.

I thought it was interesting, and certainly not OT being a
rec.crafts.textiles newsgroup. I thought it was pretty amazing actually
that so much could be made from a single bale of cotton.

They never tried to spin a whole bale of cotton. g

THAT would be an accomplishment, wouldn't it? I do have to write the
editor of the History/News newsrag I copied it from though.... the
period/decimals were MY mistake (Helen's hilarious way of pointing that
out is still making me chuckle)... but, Helen pointed out something else,
it's an ODD amount of socks!
hmmmm

Just how much is in a bale, anyway? How much does one weigh?
Not that I would try to spin one. I don't much like spinning cotton.

Seems to me it says something about socks. They must want to be odd.

Answering my own question, I looked it up on the net by doing a search on
"bale of cotton weighs" First page that came up had a longer version of
that same list of how much you can make from a bale, with the added info
that it weighs about 480 pounds. They specified mid-calf socks, still odd.

Personally I thought it was fun and since my dog has been sick with a
serious stomach problem, and I really messed up with the sterilizing plastic
fiasco, I sure needed fun.

SOME people do not have a sense of humor.

No way.....I love stuff like that......It also made me remember school
when you were asked what was more a pound of feathers (raw cotton fibers)
or a pound of steel......I think it makes you think of how light cotton is
and how much of it fits in a bale....

He Noreen we just said that to bubble a bobble is fine here within this
group, so forget it already

Mindless??? Not at all! We love trivia posts, as these are what make reading
here so much fun. We never know what we will find.
Keep it up, my friend!
