Social media brings all corners of the globe to us in minutes if not seconds.
Anyone know how much a brick weighs?

It’s heavy enough to drop! Its weight is determined by the number of holes it contains.

It depends on the construction of the brick. It also depends if the brick has absorbed water or not. Btw, the French for brick is of course une brique. Keep those questions coming….

What you need of course is a henweigh, says the wise man.
What’s a henweigh, you ask doubtingly,( or some such word.)
Oh, says the wise man, about seven pounds.
Then he takes someone elses hat and leaves.
Has them rolling in the aisles every time.

Nick - I am trying hard to think of more questions.
Maria - I have heard of a tickling stick, but never as tickling brick!
Paulo1 - Good story, I never heard that one before.
Gaelikaa - I have lifted plenty of them in my day, some need two hands.

Yeh you are a brick. As for social networking, can’t live without it these days. I’m constantly in awe of our ability to talk, question, discuss, post, play with people all over the world who we would otherwise never meet. Truly awesome.

Judy - I forgot to ask that question.
Baino - It is a world away from the days of waiting weeks for someone to write a letter.

Can you imagine, if the sender of that message had a typo, it would have been disaster for him!
