The Pitcairn Islands... and Rhetorical Metonymy Measurements

According to this bizarre and more or less utterly useless web thing J-P.M referred me to - though of course, dear poetics readers, you naturally incline towards all that which is teleologically null, thus defined by "intrinsic and not extrinsic" value (cough irony cough) - the most appropriate real-world geographical analogy for The Newer Metaphysicals is the Pitcairn Islands.

Pretty...

(But weirdly like a bad Star Trek set, for that fight scene for instance... Anyway.)

Of course this thing was bound to please, as I'm generally fond of rhetorical metonymy which is supposed to clarify measurements and ends up obscuring them immensely ("Richard Serra's most recent sculpture is the size of fourteen elephants or 234,000 dragonflies" etc.).

Pleasure then in the images abounding now from google images of Pitcairn, this weirdly idyllic utopia I didn't know existed. Bathe in the warm seas of ridiculousness, in all its weird grammatical glory:

If thenewermetaphysicals.blogspot.com were a country it will (future? no) be bigger than the Pitcairn Islands with 50 people. Daily: 51 visitors.  Let's put that in a perspective (okay, which perspective should we put it in?) : 51 of the 1,966,514,816 internet users daily visit thenewermetaphysicals.blogspot.com (encouraging? depressing? ambivalent) There are at least 26 Bugatti Veyron's required to transport all visitors of thenewermetaphysicals.blogspot.com. (I presume this is for inane publicity and I am simply blindly adding to the ravenous machine). If all 51 daily visitors take (preterit) each other by hand (definite article) you will (what's with the future!) get a straight line with a length of 0 kilometer. (Plural. This line of no length though is almost a sphinx-worthy [or  heraclitus-worthy] enigma...) We (who?) estimate that this website use (third-person present -s conjugation) 1 server(s). The average use of electricity of a internet server is about 2.400 kWh a year. This means that the server(s) of thenewermetaphysicals.blogspot.com will consume 1,728 kWh every year. Looking at the average cost each kWh with a price of 0,23 cent per kWh, the cost using electricity will be $397,- a year. 

Or in other words, about the cost of a one-way boat ticket to Pitcairn...
