this episode what on tonight. what the hell are they talking

about here? "couldn't get the green stuff off"? I'm lost.

Kramer: Kruger? That's not Kruger Industrial Smoothing, is it?

George: Yeah.

Kramer: Grinders, sanders, wet stones. They are the ones who botched the Statue of Liberty job.

Jerry: Right, they couldn't get the green stuff off.

Don't talk to me about Kruger industries. I have a lot of problems with those people. They stink. They couldn't smooth a silk sheet if they had a hot date with a babe.

The dilute sulfuric acid found in "acid rain" (from coal-burning) has turned the copper in the statue of liberty to copper sulfide, which when oxidized in the air becomes copper sulfate, which is green.

I'll let "rerics" answer your question for sure. But I do remember visiting the city in the mid 80s and you couldn't even see the statue (Statute?!) because it was totally surrounded by scaffolding. If I remember correctly, when the cleaning job was done and the scaffolding came down, she was indeed a brown color. I think she's corroded to green again now.

Sorry, I can't give you the answer. I could have earlier, but I just had sex.
