@JN: The money in India is made of Threaded Paper (better believe it!), not Cotton. Till 1956 Indian Rupees were printed on cotton notes. Threaded paper is more difficult to reproduce, and easier to fold.

So is a 'Pint', 1 'Pint' = 330ml, Infact, even 1 'Unit' = 330 ml. (anyone here who's donated blood probably knows this already  )

@786 - Nice input!
@debu - I guess the 'source' was generalizing the money-made-issue pal  !

Money tends to be printed on laminated linen these days, rather than cotton. Lasts longer. And anyone who says "I put a £20 note through the was and lost it! I'm raging!" Is a bloody liar. Money these days can take severe punishment, i've washed loads of the stuff and its turned out fine! (Not laundered, hehehe)

All quicksand is is sand and mud and water, but its very sticky and if you do get caught its hard to get out. However, it is very dense, so the human body is very buoyant in it i.e. it floats. So if you do happen to fall in some quicksand that is very deep, you won't sink any lower than up to your chest anyway.

but beware of quicksand in coastal area's with tides
get caught in quicksand you wont die immedietly
just a very painfully slow drowning....
one way to get out of quicksand is to trie to get horizontaland then to roll out on your side
