David I'm impressed.  But, how to do you explain what happens to Jeff  
Goldblum in the Fly 2?
 
Enquiring minds want to know.

Square-Cube Law.
If you reduce the linear measurements to 1/6, the  
area of a surface goes down as the square (1/36) and 
the volume goes  down as the cube (1/216). Therefore
the displacement is  327/216=1.51.

That is why insects are relatively small. If their length  
doubles, the volume, and hence the weight goes up 
as the cube and an  exoskeleton simply cannot support 
it.
