well, 'units' says that mach 5 is 3707 mph, so this is strong evidence
that the velocity of sound on the Kat world is faster than in our
world, so the kats probably have a denser atmosphere. :)

(actually, mach 6 is 4449 mph, which is suspiciously close to the
number quoted, so it looks like it's off by one.)

> Not to mention that the Kats also use the metric system.

good. the US officially went metric in 1976. it's about time someone
noticed. :)
