Brilliant. Resourcefulness is key. Are those red dots M&Ms cut in half?
you calc the cantilever for that saltine?
Thanks!
@ Kevin: Actually, they're multivitamins.
@FRaC: No worries, it'll be counter-weighted by 1 tsp of peanut butter.
is that seaweed? Brilliant...
Thank you, thank you. Yes, I would like to thank God for giving me this gift, and my agent, my beautiful wife, and all my fans...
