There are a couple of questions that spring to mind when I read a story like this. One, who knows the kind of facts used in this sentence:br(The Death Star has) a volume of 17.16 quadrillion cubic meters. At 1/10 volume, we’ll need 1.71 Quadrillion cubic meters of steel, weighing in at 134 quadrillion tonnes. In 2008 steel products, from wire to ingots were selling for an average of $962 per tonne, so our cost of steel alone is $12.95 quintillion.brTwo, who cares enough to research this bit:br(The Death Star has) a volume of 17.16 quadrillion cubic meters.

I’m very much looking forward to watching the Wire when my order from JB Hifi arrives. They were (and I’m not sure if they still are) selling them for $15.98 a season.
My brother-in-law Hilton asks a pertinent question regarding Bigpond. brI have to agree. Their page is hideous.
