Ooo! Ya got me on that one! :) But it's true that many of the kats'
standards could be different from ours. Basing our time standard on a
number of vibrations from an electically excited Cesium atom to approximate
the amount of distance of earth travel around the sun is pretty arrogant on
our part. Time is relative.

In the original idea of "When Strikes Mutilor", the "Aquians" were going to
be "Earthers" instead. From this we can assume that the Kats are fairly
close to our size.

I don't think we really _need_ to discuss this, I was only trying to make a
point. :)
