So, you think you're spacially talented? Can navigate by map without needing to turn it upside down to match the direction you're travelling? No problems. Fine. Here's a test: take one cheap, crappy, plastic child's toy in the form of a coiled spring -- the thing I'd call a Slinky if that wasn't trademarked, the thing that goes end-over-end down stairs or at least would if it wasn't a cheap, crappy plastic copy -- and give it to an 8-yo boy for 1 hour. Then, have him toss it back to you, saying casually, "I tangled it Dad." Then, untangle it. If you can.

My shoulders have gone to sleep. I mean they're tingling and crawling slightly, and they're asleep. Truly. This last happened nearly 3 years' back at Changi airport Singapore. I'd been up for over 24 hours. "Time for bed.", said Zebedee.
