    "Right....what's a cubit?" -Noah

    5' 3".

    She's a pixie.

    Happy day to all. We're waiting to see if it's cool enough to dress properly for dinner out. After living here for 10 years, anything above 60 degrees seems too hot.

    Cheers,

    Kevin.

    Now, exactly what was the question?

    Happy Birthday from here as well!

    Yup,

    She outshines me every time: well, at least until I finish a new sporran. This one goes away tomorrow.



    We took the evening off to celebrate both our birthdays and our 9th anniversary. They're all crammed in this week, and we could only find one babysitter.

    Cheers,

    Kevin.

    The length of Pharaoh's arm elbow to tip of longest finger. The value that google uses for conversion is 1.5 feet to the cubit. So, 3.937 cubits is approximately 71 inches. This derived by a method similar to that described by Turpin.
