Actually, think of it this way.
A reef tank with a house around it.

Hey Doc!
Well, look at it this way, the amount of cash that you could possibly end up sinking in that small area of the house, means you are getting the most expesive part. Square foot by square foot analysis would frighten me.
What am I rambling about? I dunno.
Time to go home.

Yah JJ I did the PhD thing (freekin 10yrs of school), I love the research side of science. I work for the Govt. on various biological warfare projects using proteomics. It's some scary but really interesting stuff. If society only had an idea what is dwelling in the world today

Doc,
Isn't that the same stuff that the US was denying for the longest time? 
The book Biohazard kept awake for quite a while!
