Confused don't see that, is some on confusing ton's to lbs conversion 1 ton would be between 2000-2240 lbs depends on what ton we are talking about. The Russian guy says it holds 320-360, is that what your talking about?

500 lb is 1/4 ton. The article says 1/2 ton over and over.

It's on the article about the man who got crushed by weed. In the article it says that he had over 500lbs of weed, which Orlove equated to over half a ton.

I can't say I haven't done the same thing. I remember making the mistake that a ton was 1000 lbs. Sometimes lack of sleep does things to a guy.

Understood, and I probably have too. But when it's 'published' it always makes me chuckle. I wonder if they proofread each others posts before they go live?

Ha ha, I doubt it. But, then again, maybe they put those errors into their writing to get more people to comment about it so they look like they get more comments than the other writers. Make themselves look better than their colleagues. Who knows?
