35 lb tungsten "ballast" blocks (race cars): $1877

Twice as dense as steel & 50% more than lead, but what a price to pay
for the little space that it saves.

We've got a block of tungsten that pretty much fills up the inside of
a little plastic Pelican case. It's funny watching people do a
double-take when they pick it up.

What's it for?

Testing a gravitational sensing instrument, so something close to a
point mass is useful.

What..couldnt get a good deal on a micro blackhole? Check Edmonds
Scientific, I think they are running a special this week.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
