Good idea. Compared to the laptop screen and keytar, I'll revise my 
estimate. Rick is actually grown to the height of an oak and though his 
legs are 20 feet long, just haven't caught up to the rest of him yet. I 
can't wait to hear when he starts banging VW Beetles together for 
percussion.

Math is harrrd!
