You know what fascinates me,  some of the trivia that can likely be found in Guinness book, stuff like, "Material that has such a dense composition, that an object the size of a dime made of such material would be too heavy for most human's to lift on our planet".  I don't recall what the current most dense metal, alloy (if possible), or mineral is.. Lead, Mercury, Iron, Uranium??? HEHEH.. I need to look this up.  Dense object's, strong gravitational fields, etc
Aren't there some meteorites that have landed on our planet that appear denser than other material's we currently have discovered ? or am I still back in the 1970's with this stuff ? Hayden Planetarium has a few that are some Iron composition, something like that.... Rediculously massive (although not that large)


Here're a few things I found so-far...

The metal Osmium, which is three times IIRC denser than lead; A sphere of lead the same size as one of Osmium would be one third the mass.

There may be denser materials in nature, but that is the most common occuring one.

someone else mentioned..

Density and weight aren’t the same thing. A feather would be heavier than any metal if placed near a stronger gravity well.

I would go with popcorn on Jupiter.

Steve,

i know the answer to "what's the difference between a duck?"

The Higher they are, they fly!

As to "how much elastic in Dolly Parton's bra," I don't know, but I'd love to do the research!

PI(r squared)? Pi r not squared. PI r round!

Roy,  OK,  For some reason I was under the assumption that "Their leg's are closer apart".  But perhaps I misunderstood  LMAO
