Thanks NYer. Sidebar, I just love the "metric system" -- instead of using the circumference of the Earth to figure out the universal measurment based on powers of ten, the dolts used one-quarter of that distance, the (19th c) calculation of the distance from the Equator to the North Pole (both theoretical locations, and the Earth has a below-the-waist "bulge"). Should have stuck with barleycorns.
