Hmm - more gold in NY than at Fort Knox?

[SUBMAN1]

Underneath the Federal Reserve, there is more gold than at any other place in the world. Had no idea about that.

-S

Currently, it is reputedly the largest gold (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold) repository in the world (though this cannot be confirmed as Swiss Banks do not report their gold stocks) and holds approximately 5,000 metric tons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_ton) of gold bullion ($160 billion as of March, 2008), more than Fort Knox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bullion_Depository).

I can never think of Fort Knox without remembering the hero it was named for. He did the impossible, transporting fifty cannon on sleds from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston, a three-hundred-mile journey that took fifty-six days. Knox was made General of Artillery, and when Washington was President Knox was the first Secretary of War (today's Secretary of Defense).

And that journey was accomplished by a guy who weight three hundred pounds!

And without any prior military experience either.
