I was in the hospital two weeks ago (there were some cells in the prostate
that didn't belong there so they took the whole thing out). The nurses kept
talking about "cc" this and "cc" that and I kept replying in milliliters.
As I said in a previous post, though, one advantage to cubic measure is that
it easily helps one visualize "how much" - when I mentioned the escaping oil
per day filling a box 10 m x 10 m x 80 m.

Martin, "cc" without some form of deprecation, is *CENSORED*! Do you
acknowledge the fact that "cm^3 is sometimes incorrectly typeset as cc"? Of
course you do.
