anyone think this still warrants a grade of 8.0?

mm = mil = millimeter ≠ millie (the model)

 

"Mil" does not mean "millimeter." One "mil" is = to 0.0254 millimeters.

 

Or do you really think those 4 mil Mylars are FOUR MILLIMETERS THICK? (Stack four dimes on top of one another and put it next to a Mylar. One dime = one millimeter thick.)

 

That's very confusing. Why don't they just call it "not too thin but not too thick"?

A killer, genocidal hamster, or the garden variety kind that will eat through your couch if it breaks out of its cage? (Poor fluffy. frown.gif )

They aren't that bad - it's not as if there's a vast disparity between my prices and your precious Dougs'. tongue.gif

making stalin look like a genocidal hamster would kind of kill the metaphor, wouldn't it? i mean, who wouldn't be terrified of a hamster with a lust for blood?

 

no, my killing spree would make the pogroms look like your average day in a calm connecticut ymca-sponsored summer camp. which is to say, calm, relaxing, and not at all full of blood-and-offal-soaked piles of corpses
