I am going to put my 30 cm down (though it's actually only 21) to say that no 
one who spouts such nonsense is going to be allowed in my back .91m!

BTW, I saw an ad for a 6.02e23 pole which was touted as driving away the 
rodents. I didn't gopher it. 6.02e23 is not a rodent.

Anyway, the temperature is approaching 0.56 radians Fahrenheit, so I'm not 
going out tonight.
