(the pizza butler) It reminds me of a catalog we receive called "Home Trends" that lists everything you never knew you needed, and some of them are really funny. I put it in the category of a banana tree. THAT is priceless!

It is getting a bit crowded on the changing table...but not THAT crowded. Hey, that’s not a bad idea! It is getting a bit crowded on the changing table…but not THAT crowded.

You can stack diapers on the bottom and wipes up top. Just think how handy it would be if you had twins!

I think using a single unit would be a bit more effective, but I have another complaint: I'd prefer some visual aids, rather than a bunch of digits. For example, Americans toss enough aluminum cans every 3.4 seconds to fill the Grand Canyon.* * Not a real statistic. Hmm…Beats me.

A question about units. Consider; "106,000 aluminum cans Americans toss every 30 seconds, or the 1 million plastic cups distributed on US airline flights every 6 hours, or the 2 million plastic beverage bottles we run through every 5 minutes, ... " Why 30 seconds, 6 hours, 5 minutes? Is this linguistic style? Is converting to a single unit less effective? Almost, if not in fact, off topic.

A question about units.

Consider; “106,000 aluminum cans Americans toss every 30 seconds, or the 1 million plastic cups distributed on US airline flights every 6 hours, or the 2 million plastic beverage bottles we run through every 5 minutes, … ”

Why 30 seconds, 6 hours, 5 minutes?

Is this linguistic style?
Is converting to a single unit less effective?
