  1. Uh, that water has a decidedly greenish tint to it? Just a very large Petri dish?

    WV: sternize
    Well, that's close!

  2. Ah, yes! Making do, creating a toy out of whatever is handy. The lost art of playing with what you already have. Reminds me of making hollyhock dolls in the backyard.

  3. Back in the Good Old Days, the contractor who had the stadium-bulb-changing contract hired a full-blooded American Indian to do the work. Those standards were ~100-foot poles.

    He'd scamper up one light-standard, change a couple of burned-out bulbs, and then get the standard to sway side-to-side until he leaped from it to the next standard, where he'd change a few more bulbs.

    It was, as you might imagine, the fastest way to get the job done.

    Until one day, the OSHA guy happened to be in the Stadium and observed the routine.

    Oh, well.
