Of course, 3 cubic acres is not a real measure, but if it were, then the 
Bin would be 6-dimensional.

"Cubic acres" is funny because it's absurd, like the centrifugilillions, 
and it can't be converted to a volume -- although I'm sure there will be 
non-mathematicians ready to argue that a cubic acre is the volume of a cube 
whose side has a surface of one acre.
