Then Normand came along and diddled it into this:

Elsewhere in the world, Daniel, at the same time, diddled this one:

Tina was sent a copy of Daniel's version and she diddled it into:
(this was before she saw Normand's version)

Seeing the diddle that Normand posted, she liked heart in Normand's version 
and combined it resulting in:

Bryant, seeing this on the newsgroup, wrote that he just _had_ to contribute 
to it, rounding the edges and eliminated the "trapazoidal" nest.

Daniel, seeing Bryant's version posted, took a look at the nest and thought
that it looked like the bottom of a basket and so he completed the picture:

However, the basket being a bit plain, he decided to tie a bow around the 
handle to top it off.
