    Working for a few years as a warehousing manager I would not let those pallets ship. First they did tie at the bottom but when you go around the pallet you need to get all four corners at the bottom connect the product to the pallet, dumb just dumb… I should have told my boss I was an artist instead of just the manager I could have gotten paid a lot more..

    @Hiroak: Maybe he was artfully letting you see how fragile the sands of time are rooted to their base. (That or he has never wrapped a pallet and has clue what happens to items in transit.) Frigging artists.

    Imagine someone has been living with their deathclock sand timer for a couple of decades, and then some ambitious jerk comes along and has it flipped somehow while the person's asleep.


    I wonder how an old person would react to suddenly waking up to see so much time passed by.

    How did you get 81 years?


    I got 72 years.

    Pallet = 8 x 6 = 48

    18 Pallets = 18x 48 = 864 Bags of Rolex Sand

    1 bag = 30 days (say 1 month)

    so that is 864 months of sand

    864/12 = 72 years of sand

    @enlightenment: Jesus is using Metric time instead of Imperial, like you did.

    Make sure you buy from a reputible dealer. I bought three bags, and the "R" and "X" came off, so now I only have a bag of "ole" sand from Mexico.
