Funny, Ara, I immediately thought of Zeno's Paradox, where everything can be halved to infinity. Eventually Chris will have one word on the page. Perhaps that word will be oxygen! (In "The Singing Detective," our hero determines that the most beautiful word in the English language is elbow.)

But back to Chris. He could halve oxygen and come up with ox and ygen, but that is beyond Zeno's parameters, as ygen, is to my knowledge, not a word. Since I'm not talking about distance, I choose to define Zeno's Paradox liberally, not literally. At least in this context, where distances are an important part of many discussions and predictions.

Good luck, Chris.
