I am not avoiding the question at all. If photobucket doesn't work, I need to use a different host for my images if I'm going to debate with you properly.
Let's be conservative for the sake of argument and call it 40 feet tall.

the colossus is 107 ft tall, making it roughly 2.6-2.7 x the height (assuming your guess is accurate)
sorry but that makes it impossible for it to weigh more than 1000 tons
the statue christ the redeemer is roughly 130 ft tall, its made of reinforced concrete (which weighs almost the same as granite), and it only weighs 600 tons

Siiince concrete is actually surprisingly light compared to granite, you're wrong. The lightest granite on the planet weighs 165 pounds per cubic foot.
Density, it has words for you.

like i said, not much difference, only 10 pounds per cu. foot
edit - when you say 'lightest', you forgot to mention that average granite weighs 166 pounds per cu. foot

'fraid not
the point im trying to make is, even if we can use physics to relate to a gameplay mechanic, the fact the the granite slab can only weigh around 200 tons, not the "over 1000" crap you've been spouting..
maybe less, since the granite slab also appears to be a lot thinner than the statue..

Negative.
For one. I literally spent my day moving around large blocks of the crap, and wheeling it around, ect. For two, in order for you to make that assumption, you have to math the volume of both and compare them.
Edit: Hell, for the lulz, go ahead and call it 200 tons. Link's feat is still better because he threw the weight.
