You can't capture the way I tell 'em through the written word alone.

Remind me of the scale of those things.

I would guesstimate they are about 4.5cm in diameter absolutely intricate, possibly down to the micrometre. They fit snuggly together together in a very satisfying and clinky way also and I vastly approve of them.

 

I have never written a paragraph that long before about a man's balls.

Aye, the ^Mouseling^ is about right. 4.5-5cm external diameter. I'm trying to finish no. 7 for Christmas - the first in which one scene runs across both halves. Masonic symbolism on this one.

 

<edit>ps. Ta for the kind words. Mouse.

I did actually know that, hence me getting the right answer on the first try

 

I continue my objection to the foriegn measurment system though

if we went about doing stuff just because it's 'sensible' then we'd all be speaking esperanto.

Kiom di Esperantistoj estas necesas por sangi ampolo?

 

Du - uno por sangi ampolo, and one to translate it into English.

I think that proves my point, on paper it looks like a good idea, in reality it's shit.

I've got a model one of those, about 2.5cm tall it is.

well you should have been here earlier, took me ages to find that pic, mainly due to not knowing what they're called
