The linked article says the butter sculpture weighs 800 pounds. That’s probably a approximate figure, and it may be somewhat lighter or heavier. But for our purposes, let’s use the 800 pound figure. As you’ll see shortly, we’re dealing with such large numbers, a few pounds either way won’t matter.

The street finds its own uses for things.
New Jersey business owner arrested for using a drone to drop dye packets into local swimming pools.
