Just to set the record straight (although nobody seems to have made an issue of it) I said that "length and depth are the only two things that affect the moment of inertia". What a load of cobblers! Of course weight (or to be more precise "mass") has rather a lot to do with it too, but since weight is also the driving force it cancels out from the equations, leaving only length and depth as the critical values. So a block stone behaves in exactly the same way as a block of balsa wood of the same dimensions - except when it lands on your toe.
