Newspaper, TV, and Internet confirm... Canadian lego man in space!

From: Theweathernetwork.com/news
"Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, successfully sent a balloon carrying a Lego man and a small Canadian flag to the edge of Earth's atmosphere. Using a home-stitched parachute and equipment they found on Craigslist, the students managed to send the plastic figurine 24 km into the air.
Ho and Muhammad launched the device, which included the Lego Man, balloon, cameras and GPS, from a football pitch in Toronto. With the help of a homemade parachute, the device came back to earth and landed in a field near Rice Lake, about 120 km from the launch point.
The mission cost about $400.
Last year, two men in Britain also captured the world's attention when they discovered how to snap images of the earth from space using only a box, camera, tracking device and weather balloon."

 Their camera was programmed to take brief videos every 60 seconds.

Unnecessary

Dictionary.com defines "Tuffet" as a low stool or foot-stool.  Why are we hanging on to this word?  It's over for tuffets.

The only reason we ever needed this word was to rhyme with "Little Miss Muffet".  And that is a made-up name!  We can use made-up names to rhyme with anything!  Little Miss Neet sat on a seat, Little Miss Dare sat on a chair, little Miss Key sat under a tree!

We do not need muffets. 

Good day to you!

Correction

Dear Friends: please be advised that my blog entry "Ozymandias Crustulum" was purely fictional.  I was not in fact the originator of the Oreo-stuffed chocolate-chip cookie. 

The one who originally found the recipe online was Ted.  The one who first baked it and taught me how to bake it, was Dan.  The credit for such enjoyment surely goes to him.  Don't be afraid to try it yourself at home.  Embrace the power within you!
