They all waited patiently...

to see how heavy they weighed.

I've been chomping at the blip bit for a long time to find a way to use this ancient triple beam balance. It was saved from the trash heap by a student of mine, and left in my office to be picked up at a later date. That was 4 years ago...

I tried earlier, unsuccessfully, but yesterday while cleaning up some stuff in my lab I cam across a box filled with past blips (Feb 13, feb 17, March 17, and March 28).

Although empty and dead, heaviness may still be a topic of discussion...
