    9 fucking kilograms!? For my fellow Americans, that’s almost 20 pounds!

      I feel like someone should have noticed. I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen someone wearing a twenty pound necklace.

        Somewhere between 150 and 160, depending on the tennis balls. Hope this helps

        Edit: Additionally, that’s about 63½ European swallows, assuming an average weight of 5 ounces. Given that a European swallow must beat its wings 43 times per second to maintain airspeed velocity, it’d be a proper racket.

        Tap for spoiler

        Those numbers are from monty python and the holy grail and are very wrong. I am spreading misinformation online.
