A riddle I heard recently that I thought I'd share: "Which weighs more: All the trains that pass through New York's Grand Central Station in a year, or all of the trees that are cut down in a month to make U.S. currency?" Hint: It's a trick question. I'm sure you all had figured that out, right?  |

You fail! ;D

I say money isn't made of trees, its a type of cloth.

US paper currency is 25% cotton and 75% linen.

Very much correct, well done. Dollar bills are indeed made out of cotton, so no trees were harmed in the making of your money. Trains could theoretically go through Grand Central Station, but since the place is a post office I imagine this would cause quite a bit of commotion. The correct answer, then, is "they weigh the same" (zero). Oh, and lg I like your Hannelore sig.  |
