Saul, they've been having that same contest yearly for over 25 years now.
I think they're finally to the point to where they've made a few light
enough to float all the way to the finish line.  These are husky college
kids handling them, not us "more mature wimps" normally found on this list. 

When Bob Denton called McNeese's entry "lightweight," he was using the term
as one relative to all the others that required a crane for unloading from
the semi-trailer.
