Actually, body weight is proportional to the cube of the height, so (240^3/6^3)*240 = 15360000#, or about a seven-thousand ton person. So I think a two-hundred-forty foot person would put quite a stress on a tower. :) -- Hisashi T Fujinaka - htodd@twofifty.com BSEE (6/86) + BSChem (3/95) + BAEnglish (8/95) + $2.50 = mocha latte |
