How much in the jar?

It’s a pickle jar 10″ tall and 6″ diameter. Nothing but silver should be in there (hopefully no pennies). The whole shebang weighs 40 lbs. I’ve been to several foreign countries in those years. Canadian loonies sometimes get mixed up as US coins.

How much do you think is in their? What foreign coins may be mixed in there? Any pennies?

Post your guess in comments.

Quote of the Day [3.28.09]

It’s a good thing that I’m not a star
You don’t know how lucky you are
Though my record may say it
No one will play it
Sad songs and waltzes aren’t selling this year

Willie Nelson, “Sad Song and Waltzes”

I found an island in your arms
A country in your eyes

Arms that chain
Eyes that lied

Link of the Day [3.27.09]

Rereading the seven volumes of Strawberry 100% (Ichigo 100%) in anticipation for next one supposedly due in April. I read at least two chapters a day, and I don’t get more than a few panels before Junpei does something stupid at which I’m screaming at him. Or he doesn’t make a move at which I’m groaning about the whole enterprise. Just stupidity on his part.

I’ve peeked at the ending and read the wikipedia entry so I know who he’s ends up with. That’s eleven volumes away though, but I can’t help but wonder WTF is up with this guy.

All three girls dig him. And the other girls in the book dig him too. WTF just pick one of these girls. You know which one. But they are all so cute. Satsuki? She really, really, really likes you. Aya? She’s too shy to express her feelings. Yui? Isn’t she like your a little sister to you? Tsukasa? She’s not your girlfriend no longer.

YARRGH! You make me crazy, Junpei.
