"Weighs as much as a garden hose long enough to circle the earth almost 18 times."


Made me wonder what the real length would be. Per this random website [0], a 5/8th inch rubber-vinyl hose weighs 2.52 oz/foot, A.K.A. 234.39 g/m. Therefore, 19.76 tons of cocaine (or, you know, whatever) in hose-equivalent would measure 76.48 km.

But how many olympic swimming pools is that?


The equivalent of four football fields.


Assuming you formed a big circle out of that and set it spinning around the earth... how much would it weigh? ;D
