@iMike @SwiftOnSecurity When model railroad enthusiasts need something to represent coal, they use a smaller piece of coal.
@SwiftOnSecurity I lifted it from the fantastic podcast No Such Thing as a Fish, who laughed about it being the most boring fact they'd ever discovered.
@peterdrake @SwiftOnSecurity Listened to this episode as well and had a great laugh at that fact as well
