Hearts are stubborn things and don't like realism :)<br /><br />@Elizabeth The pool table image works too, although I'd shrink the balls and make that felt stretch infinitely outward.<br /><br />@Derrick If you eat all the peas, you can have extra gravy.<br /><br />@Watersword Getting the letters to line up wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be, though the last few lines were a challenge.<br /><br />@Susan The concept of entanglement is much more complex than my take on it :)Francis Scudellarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008685302028451297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31030337.post-37579745024100486032010-07-16T22:30:41.123-04:002010-07-16T22:30:41.123-04:00By golly, you are muy clever - this is creatively ...By golly, you are muy clever - this is creatively complex and simple at the same time - I love it.
