Mulling over George Pope to STEVE ASHER 31 Jan 2005

SA> I think they measured the king's body parts before he died! :)
SA> I can't see metrestick taking off ... after 30+ years of metrication,
SA> we still refer to (vehicle) mileage, (film) footage, etc.

 GP> Yes, but those terms no longer refer to imperial measurements -- a
 GP> vehicle's mileage is here measured as km/100 l and film footage is
 GP> now video tape, and or digital recordings.

Hmmm... "tonnage" should work, whether it is tons or tonnes.

SA>  GP> Dick & DORA??? I thought it was Dick and JANE???
SA>
SA> Hmm... well, it was Dick & Dora here, but probably similar stories.

 GP> See Dick.
 GP> See Jane.
 GP> See Spot.
 GP> See Dick run.
 GP> See Jane run.
 GP> See Spot play.

 GP> Does that sound like chapters 1 through 3 of yours?

 GP> (substituting "Dora" where applicable, of course)

Very similar. I can't remember if the dog was Spot & the cat was Fluff,
it is too long ago. Spot & Fluff would now be chipped, & perhaps cloned,
so my memory wouldn't matter!

Cheers, Steve..
