Holy crap! "...6 to 18 inches in length, and 2 to 5 inches in
diameter..."


I think that it said "girth", not "diameter". Taking girth to
mean circumference, that give a range of 0.6466" to 1.5915", or
approximately 5/8" to 1-5/8". However -- as for the length, we're stuck
with that range. :-)


Sounds about right to me.....
