unless you come back here and inspect each and every computer, that each and every one of us uses.

OK, you're on.

Also? We have a thread where we could find them if we wanted to, in the blink of an eye.

We do?

routed nearer those of us who *do* have Hebrew fonts

OK, you're on, too.

[Edit: 5*2=1+9, and they're woven in each other, like the quotes and replys in my post. Or like the entangled mush that is my brain right now, instead of snapping itself up back to work.]

This was odd. I just finished a can of diet Coke, then, without shifting my grip on the can, I squished it in the middle till the sides met so I could throw the can in the recycling bin (thumb on one side, three fingers on the other side). A girl in the break room gasped, "Gosh, you're strong!" I stared at her in disbelief. Are there really normal, healthy grown-ups in the world who can't easily smoosh a modern aluminum can? I've seen writing paper thicker than the metal that goes in to those things.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Have we seen this? Bible in SMS.

I recall some brand (7Up, maybe?) that still used fairly thick steel cans that were hard to crush when I was in high school and much, much tinier than I am now. But I don't think full, unopened modern aluminum cans would be all that hard to squish.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think it's the meeting of old and new that makes it so hot. Or maybe it's because there's a Nano involved.

I had a terrible, terrible dream last night, the sort that made me drag the emotions out into the daylight (all the better for them to evaporate), but ICK. So no fair.

A girl in the break room gasped, "Gosh, you're strong!"

Bwah! Not like you smashed it against your forehead. (Which you should totally do, next time you see her coming.)

Ooh. For me, it's because I love wood boxes for anything. Plus the nano.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Still not feeling the nano lust.

Weird.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Still not feeling the nano lust.

Have you held one?
