And Frau's timely appearance reminds me...

Anyone know why women can't tell distances?

All their lives, they've been told that this...

|................................................. .....|

...is eight inches.

I see Vendor managed to capture that second pic before I edited it out... it was just... too... big.

I know there's a smaller version of that ruler pic somewhere, but I am NOT googling for it any more from this computer.

Just remember what Princess Diana said

Not all rulers have twelve inches.

About the same size as it was yesterday. Doesn't matter to me as long as I still have one that works twenty years from now. Or ten years for that matter. Shoot, could be tomorrow I lose the damn thing in an accident. What would I do then?
