Sorry to nitpick (well, not really), but every now and then, this one
bugs
me so much I have to comment.

Enormity means depraved abnormality. It is not a synonym for
enormousness, despite their (obvious) common etymological roots.

Dunno... my dictionary says:

1. The quality of passing all moral bounds; excessive wickedness or
outrageousness.
2. A monstrous offense or evil; an outrage.

I would posit that even though engaging in a bit of hyperbole, Rod was
using
definition 2.


I think Rod was right on the money...
