Tom may be on to something here!
In an email my brother sent me...

This was on another forum and after doing the math it only came up to like $30 for the beer. I wonder how come e-mails always have incorrect math. Oh well, it just gives you another reason to drink if you needed one.

Wow, way off! Wonder if the investment calculations are close... 1000.00 in beer is roughly 1220 cans.. Each empty can is about 13.75 grams so that equates to about 37lbs..
Hell, even if the cans were made of copper they wouldn't be worth over 200.00 LOL
