You're arguing about 8 inches out of 96? OK, what proportion of 24
hours in your home do you spend standing upright as opposed to
sitting or lying down? I sit with my head 4'5" above the floor. And
I lie down even lower when sleeping for 4-10 hours. So there's my
(our) 8" and more! :-P

But to answer your question specifically, I have a cathedral ceiling
and it's tallest point is right outside the only kitchen opening.
So I have 240" of space between my feet (when they're on the floor)
and the ceiling where the heat congregates. So for me - if you
average the height of head and ratio that the time spent sitting,
standing, and lying down - I average in the lowest 22% of that space
between my feet and the ceiling. So that 3/5th comes almost down to
just above 1/5th.

Oh, wait.... plus I'm a dwarf, remember?!? Duh! So we can cut that
in half again. Plus a little more considering all my chairs and bed
are also runted to accommodate my midget legs. So that now becomes
the lowest 10%! Or 1/10th instead of the 3/5ths in my original
statement.

Boy, you REALLY stepped in THAT one! ;-) Take a lesson from Gary.
What's that lesson again, Gary? [bending my ear towards Gary...]

ObFood: Sanbeiji (3-Cup Chicken) will be dinner. It's one of the
most popular dishes in China and Taiwan, but you'll rarely (if ever)
see it on any menus here. Mine will be skin-on boneless thighs cut
into quarters lengthwise.

What proportion of your time in the kitchen do you spend sitting
or lying down?

Why is the head the measuring point? Should be the integral of the
entire body height, perhaps a bit more weighted to the head.

Why did I get involved in this ridiculous discussion?

I don't know about you, but when my head is hot, I feel worse than
when my hands or feet are hot. The head is the most sensitive
area, so I used that.

Cindy...the lesson that Steve talks about is just this:
Steve *always* has to win and he will even make up things in order to do so.

Best advice is to walk away and let him think he won. That's worked well
for me. Arguing is a waste of time.

The Dwarf relies on his ****-poor reading comprehension... he has me
falling on carpeting... we have no carpeting... NONE! Every floor in
our house is solid tongue in groove hardwood; white oak and Brazilian
cherry, for minimal dust accumulation. We try not to visit people who
have carpeting, their homes are FILTHY. W to W carpeting are the
FILTHIEST conditions possible.
