Mostly talking about real life wood, but here goes.

Wood is Heat-Resistant - In a very hot fire, which do you think would go first, steel or wood? The answer is steel. Metal melts much easier, so the building will collapse sooner. Wood will burn at pretty much the same pace in most heat.

Wood Only Rots if Not Properly Taken Care Of - Rot occurs when moisture can get in to the wood, but can't get out. Rot needs four things to happen.

- Temp. anywhere between 40 and 104 F.

- Wet area

- Mold spores; these are everywhere

- And a food source; in tghis case, wood.

So if you let the mosture escape, you don't rot. Also, wood pipe lasted for 400 years in London, put in in 1613, and removed in the early 1900's. You may be drinking water that traveled in a wooded pipe right now.

Anyone else? Or another good argument?
