Date: Tuesday, September 16, 2008, 8:23 PMI'm probably the eightysix thousandth 
person to point out that a tenmile square contains 100 square miles. It's an 
easy mistake to make.John  
To which I replied: No, John, you are the very first. Good question, and based 
on past performance, I guess a Supreme Court Justice could see it the same way, 
but what you describe is 10 square miles squared, not 10 miles "square"? Check 
this out.
