Oh, yeah, one more thing. With regard to Demon with a Glass Hand, you could -- theoretically -- reduce the entire present-day human race to the size of a sugar cube, because atoms are mostly empty space. The cube, however, would weigh five billion tons. The population of far-future Earth in Demon with a Glass Hand is 70 billion, so multiply the above weights and measures by ten. Trent might have a little trouble moving around, or not sinking to the Earth's core. --- Synchronet 3.15a-Linux NewsLink 1.92-mlp --- SBBSecho 2.12-Linux * Origin: telnet & http://cco.ath.cx - Dial-Up: 502-875-8938 (1:2320/105.1) .
