Good point - how about 'Witches' as a density unit ?.. or Ducks for extremely dense things...

Links. Links. Links. Links.
For those wondering but not wanting to look too hard, the links for the pictures are

and

Lucy - is there any particular reason you hardly (if ever) seem to add links to pictures (or other resources) in your stories ? It's not always difficult to find them, (although there were some that needed a bit of tracking down & some I just gave up on) but that's hardly the point.. some deep-seated philosophical stand-point or just CBA ?
At least there seems to be some basic sort of attribution these days..
Cheers

Seems like the barbed hook of the tagline has been well and truely swallowed.. always nice when that happens :)
..and how delightfully typical of the "my dad is bigger than yours" mentally of some (US-centric ?) readers that the phrase was taken literally as well.. "poor mans X" is often used to infer some lack or inferiority other then hard cash, but that probably doesn't mean much to ya huh ? <hint - this is another hook>
