ok, cool

so my teachers were teaching us wrong lol, not surprised to find that out, we had some dumb teachers in school. even had one science teacher who would fail you unless you agreed with her the moon landings were all fake and we never landed on the moon because her "proof" was they were following in someone elses tire tracks when it was shown on tv lol.

they taught us ALL liquids were 8lbs per gallon unless the had solid additives in them.

never too old to learn new stuff and now I know not all liquids weight the same
