Hi, All,

> Holding out for a scale cubit...

    Hmm. Got some questions about that... A scale cubit?

    Assuming a traditional Biblical cubit, which is 457.2 mm,
a scale cubit "cube" of tool grade aluminum (at 2740 kilograms
per cubic meter), would weigh 261.86 kg, or about 575 pounds!

    That could be cumbersome to use, especially in the field.
