The sentence "Tuples do not cross 8k boundaries so a 5k tuple will
require 8k of storage" in 3.8 of the FAQ confused me. I did not realize
that multiple tuples could be stored in a page. So I took it to mean
that one tuple was stored in page. I didn't even even see 3.26, because I
thought that 3.8 answered my question :(
