How big is a pea? Wired magazine had an article today, of which I only read the one-line summary, in which is reported the discovery of the Old World's smallest species of frog, found in Borneo. The summary line reports that the frog "grows to only 0.4 to 0.5 inches long -- about the size of a pea." This is odd because I don't think I have ever seen a pea that was even 0.4 inches across. Think of it: a pea that is 1/2 inches across. That would be some huge pea. Maybe they meant that the body of the frog, sans legs, was the size of a pea. That is not what they wrote, however.

So What? Who Cares? What difference will it make? This litany of questions is what my boss (formerly merely my team member) Tom uses to distinguish between that which is important and that which is not.  I just wanted to make mention of it here to have a good record of The Three Questions.  Potpourris 12/4/2006 4:15:21 PM UTC      Comments [0]
