The walls, closing in!

Researching the mass of internal organs (for the Blimps v2.0) is getting annoying, I've hit refresh on my friends page far too often, and I need air.

Going for a walk, terminus of which will be a bookstore.

Release the penguins!

But would that have a distinct drawback in time for signals to travel? Neural impusles run at around 750mph, if memory serves. Slow enough for a measurable lapse between stimulus at the extremites and the response.

In a 3 or 4 meter globe, that effect is going to be heightened.

In *most* species it travels that slow. In others, it's much faster. I think squid are one of the ones with faster transmission speeds.
