“She is not a mutant,” Loedermann said. “She’s just a plain and ordinary kitten.”

Dammit, what do you have to do to be considered a mutant these days?

Last night I had to start a new foil ball. It had got to the point where the average size of the scraps of foil we'd been adding was just too small to make them stick. The ball was at least 5 years old, and was frequently pounded with a hammer to compact it. It's not fair cheating by just wrapping huge sheets on, like that lady in the picture. Other balls are made out of cigarette foil, or candy bar foil, which is waxed, and will stick to itself. I tried to spray the scraps with Krylon sparay adhesive, but it didn't work. Suggestions welcome.

We need to do this in Toronto. Too bad the place where Vaughn Bark and I used to pull stunts like this is now an uber-trendy hotspot.

If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky
That would be like the splendor of the Mighty one...
