He didn't specify how long the strand was. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif For all we know this particular strand is measured in kilometers.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif I seem to have forgotten my biology. Well at least I was only off by a few orders of magnitude! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

A quick note about your SE email getting out - I did a search yesterday for my name (it is not a typical name and I wanted to see if it picked it up from my business website). I was surprised to the seach turn up my forum user profile! I guess I'm an idiot when it comes to the PC community - everyone else probably knows this - but I did not know that anyone could access the user profiles via search engines. LSNED.

That's nothing. See what happened when we started discussing a worm a while back:
