I am writing a book and needs some information and some examples.  I
recall some statements and facts, but I am not sure of the sources and
the exact quotes.  Can you find them?  They are:

1. A scientist said that there is no creature on earth taller than 15
centimeters without a backbone/skeleton.  Who was it, what is the
quote, where was it said (and all the other stuff I?d need to use the
quote in my book)

2. Someone (I think it was a magician) said that Blue Man Group was
able to do what they (the magician) couldn?t ? develop a show with
actors, but that didn?t depend on specific actors.  The Blue Man Group
is leveragable. The magician must be in every show.  The cast of the
Blue Man Group is huge.

I need about ¼ of a page single spaced for each one about who, a quote
of exactly what was said, and the reference so I can check it.

I need this in the next day or so (before April 23)

Hello jeffbhc001-ga,

As I suggested on another one of your questions, you'll have better
luck if you post these as separate questions -- especially since
you're on a tight deadline.

Good luck.

Got it.

I doubt that the quote about invertebrate creatures is accurate.
Consider the giant squid. I'm not sure how you measure how "tall" a
giant squid is, since it doesn't stand upright, but I suspect that in
any position, its uppermost portions are more than 15 centimeters from
its lowest portions.

It was perhaps the surface of the earth.
