I like those. They are a good basic shape.  I wonder if they
could have more of a spiral?

They would make good cartoon characters. Unfortunately, as we've
discovered :-> the really difficulty of cartoons is keeping up
good interesting scripts.....

Heisenberg's uncertainity principle: you can not figure out BOTH
the exact velocity and location of an object, the more correct
you get on one of them, the more uncertain becomes the other...

Or SOMETHING like that, I ain't good at physics.

The point is that he knows **EXACTLY** how fast his keys are going,
therefore he doesn't have a clue where they are.

I have no idea who posted the original request... I believe that I'm
missing
quite a few from the past week.  It's difficult to believe that there have
only been a handful of posts a day... and now most are in response to
posts that i have not seen...  anyhow, here are some snails that I have

Yeah, It's called Zeno's paradox I believe.

This is a tweaked version of Zeno ! Very interesting !! ;) The original
ones, since there are many, are for example Achilles running after a
tortoise. By the time Achilles reaches the position where the tortoise was
when he started running, the tortoise will have moved forward. He will
then run for that new position, and once again the tortoise will have
move. Therefore, the tortoise will always beat Achilles at running !
