On the back of a box of vegetarian chili is the following "fantastic fact":
The quantity of water that is used to produce a 1,000 lb. steer would
<i>float a destroyer</i>.
I have two questions:
1. Does it make sense the way it is worded?
2. I suppose they want to say the weight of the water is equivalent to the
weight of a destroyer. How did they figure out how much water is needed to
produce a steer?
