  • Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
    With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
    Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
    A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
    Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
    Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
    Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
    The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
    ‘Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!’ cries she
    With silent lips. 'Give me your tired, your poor,
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!







  • Why would you need a spoon? It’s all edible except the hard bit at one end (which is probably edible too, but too pointy to risk it) and the hairy bit at the other (which is almost certainly edible, but eww, hairy). The skin is where the vitamins are.

    Just clean it to remove the insecticides and herbicides and whatnot, and bite chunks off the thing until only those two bits (and quite a lot of juice all over your fingers and mouth) are left…

    I mean, it’s at least plausible. Cats scratch the sand before and after using it, to cover their tracks, and while they can be incredibly smart when they want to they can also simultaneously be astoundingly stupid… so they sometimes scratch outside the sandbox.

    If they do that on a sandbox with wheels, it’s not out of the question for them to move it (especially if they can sink their claws into something, like carpet).

    That gives you two possible scenarios for the story: the stupid wins, and the cat is just trying to cover its business but is moving the sandbox instead, or the smart wins, and the cat figures out it can move the sandbox wherever it wants, which will probably be near its humans, as cats prefer to have someone nearby watching for predators while they do their business.
