Edit the stick into a jagged thunderbolt?              To be Zeus readying himself to smote some mortal?              Just as a sidenote, _everytime_ I see this thread's subject I think of       _The Mote in God's Eye_ by Niven/Pournelle. The book deals with       humanity's interaction with a three armed species, and has phrasing like       "On one hand ..., on the other hand ..., but on the gripping hand ..."       There's a sequel to the book (which I have not read) called _The       Gripping Hand_.              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mote_in_God%27s_Eye                     > --       > ████████████████████■      â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ       > █░░░░░░░░░░░█░░░░░░░■      â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–‘░░░░░░░███       > █░░███████░░█░░████░■      â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–‘░████░░███ [chan] 711       > █░░░░░░░██░░█░░░░██░■      â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–‘░░░██░░███ spooky mart       > ██████░░██░░███░░██░■      â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–‘░██░░███ always open       > ██████░░██░░███░░██░■      â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–‘░██░░███ stay spooky       > ██████░░██░░█░░░░██░■      â–‘░█░░░░██░░░░█ https://bitmessage.org       > ██████░░██░░█░░█████■      â–‘░█░░██████░░█       > ██████░░░░░░█░░░░░░░■      â–‘░█░░░░░░░░░░█       > ████████████████████■      â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ              Not very spooky.              Elijah       ------       downright blocky              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
