“Other” Mine exists in at least 7 dimensions and in at least one manifestation length and girth measure the same quality and are/is gauged in noneuclidian increments. It’s just not a simple question, sorry. ---

Or maybe, if we’re talking about multidimensional existence, and in loose keeping with the obvious Hitchhiker’s Guide reference made by **running coach** …dude.

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > According to the results so far, Doper men are pretty huge. More than 70% fall in the top third. Science!
