He Riotact, you know earlier on you said that, in your factory you deal with 'thingamajigs' and 'whadyacallits'?
I was wondering whether you also have anything to do with oojamaflips and dooberries?

smiley - ermThe reason I ask is that my thingamajig has lost its oojamaflip and I also need a dooberry to fit on my whadyacallit.

5 to grasp the bulb and 170 to rotate the ladder.

The Luggage (7 + 5 + 4) * 2 + 2 * 5 = 42

but why would pickles be changing a light bulb if they can just plug themselves in?
