Commonness

Ship-tie is the ninth most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than long boat but more common than barge.[1] It is also the twelveth most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.[2] It is the most common object in Catagolue for which no 3-glider synthesis is known.

gollark: Also, that... seems to limit strings to 256 chars?
gollark: I think a fat pointer thing would be nicer.
gollark: It's metadata, not notmetadata.
gollark: But... that shouldn't be part of the indexable stringy thingy.
