Lines: 16 Has anyone done any statistic studies on the size of the deathstar? A friend of mine did, and the results were really interesting. I don't remember the numbers, but even leaving only 1/4 of the available space and giving minimum space per person, and counting only deaths from natural causes (i.e. no automobile accidents) something like the population of the world today (~4 billion) died every year aboard the Death Star. The sheer volume of that thing is staggering! Would someone like to figure out the volume, number of people, etc, so we can see the rest of the figures? (I heard these at a party over a year ago, so my memory could have lapsed) - rene -- "Peoles have feeelings, too" Arpa: rene.umcp-cs@CSNet-relay Uucp:...{allegra,seismo}!umcp-cs!rene
