About LinkBacksThe term "the whole 9 yards" came from W.W.II fighter pilots in the South Pacific. When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet, before being loaded into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo at a target, it got "the whole 9 yards."

I think annually only 30 tons or less is probably produced by mining giants, BHP put out just over 5 tons their last reported year and Rio Tinto produced 13 tons. The Wiki article talks about more than 150000 tons so any gold not recognized due to pre-historied civilizations probably doesn't make a noticeable dent/impact on the total. Just my thoughts Originally Posted by ardchoille

So they've been able to account for every ounce of gold that has ever existed on planet Earth? How is that possible?
Don't get me wrong, sci, you're cool, it's just that any article that assumes to know exactly what happened before recorded history doesn't have much credibility. The phrase "before recorded history" implies that we don't exactly know what happened.
Forgive me, I've studied law and am accustomed to picking things apart to find the facts. I'll shut up now

The slogan on New Hampshire license plates is " Live Free or Die." Inmates of the state prison in Concord make the plates.

Right! If you're allergic to peanuts, don't stand too near the dynamite when it explodes. The allergic reaction is deadly. Originally Posted by Mickey330

Rubber bands last longer if you keep them in the fridge.
