And "Titanium Mike Saves the Day" goes off to Analog. On to the next thing.

Has anyone else noticed that short stories in standard manuscript format weigh just about one ounce per thousand words?

Moshe Yudkowsky pointed out that the Amazon page devoted to his new book had a pointer to some weird statistics, including words per ounce and dollars per ounce, which were the same to less than a percent.

That's an interesting observation. Syne Mitchell has a "virtual postal scale" (http://www.sff.net/people/Syne/toolbox.html) on her website, and that seems to show similar results. That should help me get in and out of the Post Office more quickly.

Good luck with Analog. I love that title and can't wait to read the story!

The fun part is that Titanium Mike doesn't exist. He saves the day anyway.
