Maybe some of you have already seen this, but I thought it was interesting.
A cord of wood yields:
7,500,000 toothpicks, or
30 Boston Rockers, or
12 dining room tables (each table seats eight), or
1,000 pounds of paper, or
460,000 personal checks, or
89,870 sheets of letter head bond paper (size 8 ½" s 11"), or
61,370 standard #10 envelopes, or
14,384,000 commemorative-size postage stamps, or
1,200 copies of the National Geographic, or
2,700 copies of the average daily paper (35 pages), or
250 copies of the Sunday New York Times, or
942 one-pound books, or
the heating value of one ton of coal, or
the heating value of 200 gallons of fuel oil.

That would probably depend on your idea of how big a serving is. ::) Personally, I wouldn't be able to eat a serving of grits if it was any bigger than my pinkie finger... smiley_smug01 I'm sure other members would consider a "serving" in a significantly larger size. ( or smaller for that matter...) 8)
