Hey, anyone remeber to exact dimentions for a "cubit"? I'm getting out the plans for the arc. Still raining here.  1 cubit = 45.72 centimeters Noah must have been a short man ... or at least had short arms    |

...anyone remeber to exact dimentions for a "cubit"? I'm getting out the plans for the arc. Still raining here. Yep, I remember the elbow to fingertips thing too. Still, as I recall, someone took those directions and actually came up with a model that was a lot like today's supertankers - if they were pregnant (how does a boat get pregnant? hmm.....no, don't go there Keith). It looked like it was about a 3x4 height to width ratio with a flat bottom (keel?) and rather long. Interestingly, when they tested it in a wave pool, it was extremely difficult to capsize, something along the lines of a perfect storm sort of wave. |

Congrats on breaking through the #1000 barrier! I remember getting excited a couple weeks ago when I broke through #2000 on points. As I recall, a cubit is the length from your elbow to the tip of your extended fingers. From what I've read, you may be just a bit late in getting started on your ark! Here in the Chicago area, we are enjoying what feels like balmy weather after last week's deep freeze (several nites down to -4° F or -20° C). At this moment, it is 45° F (7° C) at noon and it should rise a bit more this afternoon. How is Zelda doing? Cedric has been doing a good job cleaning up after me, although I think I am going to have to relocate his home base as he has developed an annoying habit of getting himself fenced into a corner basicly running in a small triangle under a bookcase blocked in by the wall, legs of the bookcase and the infrared wall set up by the charger. I have to power off the charger for him to escape and run free. A slight defect in the robotics code, I think, when he can get into an area and not get himself out. Hey Dave!! It stopped raining here. Just dark and gloomy. No snow but it is just up the road and I hope it stays there.  A chance of more rain every day over the next 6 days.  Unseasonally warm though. It got up to 60.8F (16C) on the 26th and should be 46F (8C) today.Zelda is great. It does it's job every day. It seldom gets stuck but sometimes runs out of power before finding its way back to the charging station. I had to put on a new side brush. Only the cat pays much attention to it anymore. |

Yep, I remember the elbow to fingertips thing too. I never figured when I got up this morning that I would be measuring my forearm and hand. Mine is 21" ... 53.34 cm. Maybe rather than an arc, I should just fly to Hawaii ... but then the sea level is rising and all the ice is melting ... and all those polar bears are looking for a new home.  What to do? What to do? |

That’s what is bad about typing vs. talking ... it has only two dimensions. It has height and width but no depth. It is like looking at the Grand Canyon vs. showing a picture of it.I guess I am just going to have to out crunch you. |

I guess I am just going to have to out crunch you. And you're doing a fine job of that, too. When you put all your horsepower together, I'm afraid all I see is taillights.  BTW, no offense taken with the "permission" remark. I was just razzin'. |
