LRR, what do you think the volume is of the average human? Four cubic feet? 3.75? 3? Wait a second... processing... processing..... I think it might be closer to 2 cubic feet. 'Tween 2 and 2.25. So that's about (2 x 5.5 billion humans) 11 billion cubic feet of humans. What size cube would that make, Borg-like, without the spaces? Maybe naked even. Ugh. Got a cube root calculator handy? I don't. I'm really curious. How big is humanity?

>>>>>What would you call the color of the Stock List hyperlink higher on the page?<<<<< The type, right? It's about the same color that Microsoft uses on the screen when you add new software. I call it Windows blue, or Microsoft blue. But if it were a pigmented color, probably I'd call it French blue. I see colors "funny" because I used to have to match colors for printing using the Pantone Matching system, all colors can be made, or approximated, with cyan, magenta, yellow and black. I'd say 100% cyan, 40% magenta, maybe 10% black. But it's not pigmented, because it's made from light pixels. And then I would say that it is quite close to the way that my cobalt blue Blenko glass rondell looks when I hold it up to the light and compare them, which I just did. I take my colors very seriously.
