We all knew it was coming

Did you know . . .

That the refrain from Tom Petty’s song “The Waiting” (i.e., “The waaaiiiiting is the hardest part”) is, in fact, not at all true? It’s true!

Of course it depends on what parts you have handy, but it’s difficult to imagine a scenario in which “the waiting” is the hardest of them. Waiting has a Mohs scale hardness of about 2, approximately equal to that of gypsum. A healthy fingernail should be about a 2.5, so right there you’ve out-hardened waiting. If you were holding a diamond tipped drill there would be no contest, and don’t even get me started on erections.
