Moving note for future reference:

Since paper is, for all intents and purposes, very thin wood, a 40 gallon tub of books weighs roughly as much as a 40 gallon tub of wood. Ouch.

Unless it's enamel paper, then a 40 gallon tub of enamel paper weighs as much as an 80 gallon tub of wood. That stuff is heavy.

Is this a MENSA question? I think I just failed.
