Since, thankfully, "... he's now ok" I can say it: *Steel is real.

Let me add that high-spoke-count wheels are also real.

Perhaps something made of sacrificial foam, wrapped around one's
head...

That's just for shipping. You can keep it in case you need to send
your head back to the manufacturer for service, but you should not use
it when the head is in operation. It can cause overheating.

Meaning more than 12 spokes by the way.

.... mmmm ... Guinness ... next best thing to Greene King Harvest
Brown Ale. Anaesthetic sacrificial (oblationary) foam.

-- Surgeon: Ooh! We forgot the anesthetic!

-- Operating Gumbys: The anesthetic! The anesthetic!

(At that moment a Gumby anesthetist comes crashing through
the wall with two gas cylinders.)

-- Gumby Anesthetist: I've come to anesthetize you!!

(He raises a gas cylinder and strikes Gumby hard over
the head with it. Bong. Blackness.

Anyways, my heart goes out to Mrs Squirrel and all the li'l
squirrelets. Maybe Mark Knopfler and the Boomtown whatevers
could pitch a benefit concert for them.


cheers, & my brain hurts,
Tom

Stew? Or perhaps southern fried?
