 NB>>> How many angels can dance on the head of a pin......???  
 JM>> Uh, depends on the size of the angels?
 NB>> That could be.... also the size of the head of the pin... ;)

 CS> I recently made contact with an old friend from my Japan days.  We
 CS> were both looking for someone to list so we could update our security
 CS> clearances. 

That was good that you could help each other out for that... :)

 CS> 'Zippy' is the short form of his nickname.  Full form is Zippy the
 CS> Pinhead.  Considering the circumference of his head and surface area
 CS> and that he likes his angels on the voluptuous side, he'd fit 584 if
 CS> you could nail his butt to a seat long enough for them to balance. 
 CS> However, it's really hard to catch zippy in a still position so I'd say
 CS> as he whips around the corridors with his head always bobbling about,
 CS> normally only 5 could hang on and the rest would be litering the
 CS> passageways as they fell off. 
 CS> That do?

That certainly puts a different spin on the debate...    Of course,
as angels have wings, they could probably manage to stay fairly close to
being still there on his head...  ;)
