This reminds me of a story of my grandfather's from WWI...His group was in the trenches with all the mud, and in the general wisdom of the army supplies department whole crate-fulls of jam were sent to the front. Far too many tins of jam to be used by the men, and without transport to send them back the men then used the excess to build temporary roads through the mud.
I am not sure what the moral of the story is, but it does show that tins can have a multitude of uses.
We should teach our children the 4-Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rejoice.

And yet somehow I expect Bill Gates will come out of peak oil better than the loner in his bunker with a wall of soup staring at him.
The oil barrel is half-full.

I think you can have a little of both, soup and gold, the shelf life of gold is a little better than the soup I think. If it goes back below $750, I will start buying it again, but that day will probably never come again.

Oh I am sure he will. He will also come out better than a loner in his bunker with two shining krugerrands (put them on the wall or eye-holes, doesnt matter).
