I can't tell if that's supposed to be a large amount or a small one. Although Reddit assures me that that's a big hole, and about 4.1 million tonnes of copper and the hole is 2 km wide.
Also, I'm currently reading Rob Chapman's biography of Syd Barrett, and it's painting a pretty illuminating picture of his life. And two of the most interesting things I've learned so far:
1) From what little he's showing us of his madness (he seems more focused on recontextualising some of his most notorious incidents as extensions of an interest in performance art and not adjusting to the sort of breakneck touring schedule the managers had in mind) it seems to map more closely onto bipolar disorder than schizophrenina (and even then, not that well).
2) Some of his songs were apparently ripped off wholesale from other sources. And Chapter 6 includes quite of exegesis of where most of the lyrics of this song came from:
And apparently, the first two lines of the song were lifted from a play by Thomas Nashe, a contemporary of Shakespeare.
