open, but he was not seeing with them. His mind flew free of his
conciousness through the sky of his imagination. The weight of the
world no longer lay heavy upon his shoulders as he reveled in the
freedom his mind gave him. He came back to himself, and this time the
let down was too much.
Jacob got up with a start and pulled on a pair of shorts and a
T-shirt. He slipped on his favorite pair of sneakers and grabbed his
keys as he practically ran out the door.
...
They found his car in the morning, a crumpled, mangled heap of scrap
metal in the bottom of the gorge. Nobody knew why he was speeding
along the canyon road that night, or why there were no skid marks.
However, for a moment, he flew.

Sounds like a drug legalization campaign commercial. ;)

You know... this is actually the best really short short story that I've ever
read :)

Wow. *blinks* Thank you. I'm not sure whether you've read a whole lot
of short short stories to compare it to, but I still appreciate the
comment :)

How many chicks are in the classic novel "Kipper's Book of Numbers"?
The first person to answer correctly gets a bruce-punch and a squeeze bottle
from Cogo's down the road, (postage paid by you, naturally).
On the off chance that anyone should get this correct, I was lying about
sending prizes... it's just the thought that count's, m'kay?
I don't care if this is retarded. I'm hitting "send now". Nyah!

How much is the postage? I like squeeze bottles! ;)

Doh! Of course, I'm assuming I'm right, when I have absolutely no idea if
that is true or not. ;)

You have a "send now" button? Is there a corresponding "send later" one
too? ;)

Well, there are two hedgehogs, three hamsters, four hens, five tortoises and
eight frogs, but I couldn't find anything about chicks.

Jezus! Ok... I gotta know where you found that online!

So close, and yet so far...
>How much is the postage? I like squeeze bottles! ;)
I don't know! I actually don't even have a Cogo's any closer to me than 250
miles away to the best of my knowledge... I hope they still sell those
squeezies with the slushies!
ps... I hope you're not meaning that you want the liquid that would have been
inside it too! Yeesh!

Hey, that's not fair! Jeff was standing behind me while I typed that, so I was

By searching for the book title. Part of it came from the summary on Amazon.
Actually, it's not true that I didn't find anything about chicks. One of the
places mentioned all the things Kipper counts, including chicks, but it didn't
say how many of each.

That is just amazing that they even had it listed! There are only 10 pages
altogether for goodness sakes!

Hhhmmm... well, if you have to go 250 miles... I think I would still want
one, but I will understand if you don't want to go that far. ;)

Nope. I just want the squeeze bottle itself. ;)

I can forgive you for that if you were distracted. :) I was so distracted
by Kris's beauty while I was in Kansas that *I didn't even use the
computer*!! So I can understand. :)

Join the USA Congress and then the difference between 1,600,000,000 and
1,200,000,000 becomes something small enough to negotiate.

Yes, that's it. There were 0.875 chicks in a book for 2 year olds.
Let me be more specific. It's a postive integer. ;)

Do you want the efficiency of binary search or do you want complete chicks?
kitznegari and the infinite sadness
I don't want percentages of chicks, I don't want chickens in binary... I would
not, could not in a boat, I would not could not with a goat, Sam I Am.
