My kitchen is the center of our universe. It is the place where food, love, advice and laughter are served! Welcome to my kitchen.
Nah... i don't think so!!!My math skills are fuzzy around the edges, so i checked with a maintenance and facilities expert that i happen to live with...According to Bubba, it all depends on whether or not the tons are metric or u.s. tons...a metric ton = 2,200 u.s. lbs.a u.s. ton = 2,000 u.s. lbs.I figure in France they are using metric tons so...50 tons x 2,200 lbs per ton = 110,000 lbs110,000 lbs divided by 12 lbs per gallon = 9166.57 u.s. gallons of paint to paint the eiffel tower using 50 metric tons of paintor...100,000 lbs divided by 12 lbs per gallon = 8.333.34 u.s. gallons of paint to paint the eiffel tower using 50 u.s. tons of paint
opps, not 8.333.34 gallons... that was supposed to be 8333.34 gallons!
i stand corrected!forgot the dividing part!!!!
nevertheless... that's some kinda major paint job!

I view going to the shrink like a trip to the salon: My head looks great when I leave, but an hour later, it's all fucked up!
It takes 1.2 million paint cans to paint the Eiffle Tower!

According to Bubba, it all depends on whether or not the tons are metric or u.s. tons...
a metric ton = 2,200 u.s. lbs.
a u.s. ton = 2,000 u.s. lbs.
I figure in France they are using metric tons so...
50 tons x 2,200 lbs per ton = 110,000 lbs
110,000 lbs divided by 12 lbs per gallon = 9166.57 u.s. gallons of paint to paint the eiffel tower using 50 metric tons of paint
or...
100,000 lbs divided by 12 lbs per gallon = 8.333.34 u.s. gallons of paint to paint the eiffel tower using 50 u.s. tons of paint
opps, not 8.333.34 gallons...
