And before one can answer that, one must first answer:
Do angels even dance?
Are we talking a small-head sewing pin, or a large ball-headed map pin?
And is there a limit on how small an angel can compress itself (the old
testament angels tend to appear as large "beings", whilst the new testament
has them mostly human sized)
