Milum : Must I be the one to point out that if the world was a six foot diameter ball the great oceans would be less than a silly millimeter thick...

(Huge sigh -e) Must you, indeed, dear Milum? You must have been infected by that dreded Literal-itis bug!

I think the imagery is lovely ... Idealistic? True. But what did that ever hurt?

Ah, well. I guess the prosaic has it's place ... just sign me an unrepentant idealistic romantic at heart.
And here's a kiss for you, Milum.


P.S. Couldn't the measurement thing be solved by substituting "a few miles" or even "a few yards" for "a few feet?"
Maybe it got shrunk in transcription?
