Someone should start using the acronym LTYC (laugh 'til you cry). This is the
sort of prank I used to do when I was younger.

Valentine's Day

Katherine Phelps <muse [at] glasswings.com.au>
I stumbled across Klaus Nomi when I took a chance on a "related" link to him
on YouTube. I fell completely in love. He has the most amazing voice (a
counter-tenor for those who know).
Up until his death he was working on a space-western opera entitled Zabakdaz.

Katherine Phelps <muse [at] glasswings.com.au>
We don't have cable these days (didn't seem worth the money). However, I do
miss Nickelodeon Adult Swim. The below bit of Star Wars humour is just
priceless. Good timing, good sense of absurdity, nice bit of background
animation.

playing the flute, his selection of tunes is pretty cool as well.

Crayon Rockets

Katherine Phelps <muse [at] glasswings.com.au>
Since a friend pointed out that my I-ROC looked like a Crayon®, I've had the
idea in back of my mind to build a Crayon rocket. Not just a Crayon rocket,
but a pack of Crayon rockets! The smallest pack of Crayons I could find had

standard mid-power rockets. But, they were to be launched from a box (the
