How long will those lengths of wood be? What kind of wood? How many cords
of
wood is the woodpile? Also, you stated the beating would be "endless'; who
will continue the beating after you are unconscious?
For the record, I realized that when you described the size in your
original
post, there was some 'give' in your measurements. It's very difficult to
use
a micrometer at 55 MPH. Generally, micrometers aren't accurate above 40MPH
and must be within the same county as the object being measured.
