For project 'Not-in-the-least-mental-at-all-even-though-it-might-be-a-little-eccentric-in-places-aww-who-am-I-trying-to-kid-it's-barking-that-was-formerly-called-p'nom'[1] I needed some numbers for crew. Being a terribly organised and together type of person I made some up on the spot and decided to use them rather than working out sensibly how

In terms of stuff and things, how big do you want space units to be?

Erm. I want my central important class of space ship to be about the size of a blue whale and measurable in a round figure. In this reality, measurement being based on the ship rather than the ship measured by something else.

I suspect a 'space unit' will turn out to be reasonably similar to one average human stride. Because it is simple, everyone can understand it and it's an easy unit for me to visualise.

So what I actually need to know is how many strides a blue whale is.

So basically you're using metres then...

Well, when put like that. Yes. :)

Also, I like the idea of tiny rj. Unfortunately Regular size Patrick is currently wearing a suit and being depressingly sensible, so tiny Patrick probably needs a latex minidress.

If tiny patrick is the antonym of tiny rj does that mean he's plotting how to stop all your numbers working?

If so, I recommend an old priest and a young priest.

[dedbutdrmng]

Actually. That's wrong.

If tiny patrick is the antonym of tiny rj does that mean he's working out how take things that work and turn them into random pronouncements.

I quite like the idea you have a man in your head deciding when would be exactly the most inopportune time to state the mathematical proofs of theories.

The priest thing still stands.
