A most fowl blow, John. Also, one might call it "a shack". Tsimi's going to need new ceconite to replace the feathers that one singed off him.

PS: the girls at Salt Wells say hello!

'Tsk 'Tsk, Let me tell you a little 'sumptin Rusty ...some ducks read books. Other ducks have books written about them!
 
For a slightly different kind of read but an enjoyable one. Read Henry Petroski's, The Evolution of Useful Things (Vintage ISBN 0-679-74039-2). It is a light enjoyable read that approaches history from an engineer's perspective and looks at the development of a few common household items (the fork, paper clip, zippers, pop cans, ...you get the idea). A classic book for exploring innovation on a more familiar scale. Incidently, the fork evolves from a knife, so we have some knife content. :)

"The Thirty-Six Strategies of Ancient China"
--And the Cat's recommendation was well worth the jaunt. The author forgot the 37th Strategy: Copying HTML text to MSWord. Bwahaahaaa!!
