How does 19,000 kgs equal "(app. 669,721 pounds)"? Unless the number of pounds per kilo has changed recently, I think it might be a little off.
Peace.

I agree, 19,000 kgs would be closer to 42,000 pounds. Doing math when stoned should always be triple checked!

I just found that so funny I had to post a comment....
Why did they hide it on the shop? Surely there are better places to put 19,000kgs than on a roof?

Wooooooo, make that 660,000-or-whatever OUNCES. Thanks, Puffin.
I still wouldn't want to lift it.
Oh, wait. Yes, I would.
