147 Meters? 147? Are you insane?

Do you know that the slaves have already finished the foundations for this?
Where did you come up with these dimensions?

Oh great one, please forgive me. I imported the file from AutoCAD 2000BC; all the fonts were messed up. Look I can't read a thing...

What shell we do?
The Giza municipality.... The Architecture Committee...

Ohhh, let me handle them.
I tell them it's a new concept.
I'll tell them that the municipality of Abusir is planning a 140 Meters pyramid... they'll approve it, you'll see.

We need to talk.
We are on post number seven and you hardly said a word. You never ask me anything, you don't care that we do not have a logo...
I don't get it. How can you watch this now? How can some dumb game on TV be more important then our relationship?

Come on, it's the "Super Clasico", Barca vs. Real... last 15 minutes. 15 minutes and I'm all yours.

No way. "American Idol" starts in 20.


Calculating optimal screen - viewing distance
Distance = Screen size (inches, diagonal size) * 2.45 (inches to cm) * Distance Factor.
Screen size (inches, diagonal size) = Distance / (2.45 (inches to cm) * Distance Factor).

Optimal Distance Factor – 4.
Min Distance Factor – 3
Max Distance Factor – 5

Examples:
Screen size is 42", what is the optimal viewing distance?
Optimal viewing distance = 42*2.54*4 = 426 cm.

Viewing distance is 300cm, what is the optimal screen size? Max screen size?
Optimal screen size = 300/(2.45*4) = 30"
Max screen size = 300/(2.45*3) = 40"

We can't use this as a logo, too square, tooo... rigid.

I can't see a thing... can you "Move to Front" me?

Yaaa!!!
I know this guy. He is from "Pulp Fiction"!

…but a small research in the library will show that all precedents are male figures.

So what? I don’t understand why our logo must be something like Neufert's or the Vitruvian guy. I think that today, at the 21st century, we may as well consider a logo that is not a figure of a man. Equal representation is an important val…

ahhh… was it always nude man?

…and then, tradition is tradition and I'll just have to give up and accept it.

Listen, we are trying to be professional here. This project suppose to be professional and in order. You must behave in a manner…

Excuse me! What are you trying here, to recreate the boring blue book? Who gives a shit about all that?

Ahhh, listen you just can't …

No, you listen. How long do you think you can write human agronomics without freaking? If there will be no action, the project won't go anywhere.
You better select a logo, find a sponsor… wake up!

And let me add another tip – sex sells.

What? What sex? That's it. A line must be drowned…

Well draw a dashed line! You are just like Neufert - "woman in the kitchen, man at the office". What, sex doesn't need agronomics?

She has a point.

Well well… what do you know…

Is he looking at me?

Hmmm… no.

He said he will be going out for Chinese… I don't get it? Why doesn't he ask me out? He is going to eat alone?

I'll just walk here... like that... slowly...

Is he checking me out?

Hmmm… no, no.

Nothing?...

Tell me? He is not gay by any chance?

O my god, maybe he is not an architect, maybe he is a latent interior designer?

Well now, if I'm already here doing all these poses, how about sizing me up a bit?

Why won't you use your "Scale" tool and set me up with something nice?

Ammm, listen, I don't know where you came from but all the dimensions here must be standards.
And besides, this is The Green Man's project here so….

Ohhh, come on, you really want me to ask him?
Hay, green guy, what do you say? Should he super-size me?

?!?

Well, you asked for it….

Very fanny! Hilarious!
If you release me to the web like this you can forget the whole dam project.

So... what's with this project?

I was tolled there's a "green man" here.

Ye, Ye… I know. I'm recreating the pages from scratch. Here you have the first measurements, OK?

Bold, not very tall…
To come all the way up here just for…

Hay, you!
Tell me; don't you think there is one more size I may be interested in? Ha?

Come on, don't be a Neufert drag. Maybe in one thing he won't be so… standard.
