Happy Towel Day to all my Hoopy Froods!

"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened." ~Douglas Adams (in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

It's probably been more than 40 years since I picked up one of these things; wasn't sure if I'd remember how to do it. Great for a quick pick-me-up between work tasks!

Tomorrow I'm going to get some ball bearings to put into it. I didn't even know that hula hoops nowadays didn't have them!

Goodbye Michael Foord.

Fans of Douglas Adams will recognise this phrase from The Hitchhiker 's Guide to the Galaxy immediately:

"The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't."

I have a confession.

This phrase breaks my brain.

I don't understand it. I can't visualise it. I have never seen a brick not-hang in the sky. So, for a ship to be in not-fall mode makes me not understand the happening of the not-happening.

You dig?
