I'm sure that is not what you're after. So I broke down the query into "chunky" and "bacon" chunky: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunky bacon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon So, using the power of synthetic reasoning ... chunky bacon: Chunky Bacon is a cut of meat taken from the sides, back or belly of a pig and then packaged into a packed pixel frame buffer organization. Bacon pixels are packaged together into a bacon byte. Typical configurations in the local grocers include the 12 bacon pixel per byte frame buffer, and the 20 bacon pixel per byte frame buffer. Hope this clarifies things :) TwP
