Can we try that with someone else's Saturn first? I'm pretty sure they will
float for a while, at least until they don't...

I bought my wife's wedding ring in Oklahoma, and they told me at the time I
was buying a diamond. If it isn't a real diamond, I'm going to want my
twenty bucks back. But I know I've seen diamonds in other stores there, too,
and advertised here in Boston (Shreves, Crump, and Lowes). No, I really
think diamonds can probably be found in all fifty states.

Didn't they take care of this when they fixed up the Washington Monument? I
know that it opened to tourists the day after we returned from D.C. I wonder
if the builders of the White House took into account the weight of some of
the fellows we've elected?

If there were an ocean large enough, Saturn would float in water.

Arkansas is the only state (actually, the only spot in North America) where
diamonds can be found.

The Washington Monument is sinking at a rate of about an inch every century.
(The engineers failed to take into acount the weight of all the tourists
that would occupy the building)
