In Honduras you can buy elastic by the spool. It is great for building sling shots. Or you can take a 15cm segment and use it to zap flies. Hoopy!

P.S. Dogs do not like to get zapped in the nose. They will try to bite you!

Thank-you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.

The mind is an elastic thing, but not THAT elastic. Shall write down that fact and memorise so as to seem eccentric at next dinner party.

I imagine wild dogs hit on the nose by elastic would become a whole new breed. Extremely angry dogs. I wonder if catapults are made using the elasticised pelts of cats?

I though that was how Pekinese dogs were created...

That may be how they are created but when they die they end up on Peking tables, called duck.

"I see you've set this valuable time aside for humilating yourself in public."

etc.etc.

Oh God you don't mean..... look of horror creeping over face... this duck isn't REALLY duck!?! Runs for nearest lavvy, holding mouth. Stggers back, wiping chin. Waiter, one Mallard Fizz if you please.

Love the blue fish. Any chance of releasing a bit of code so I can have a genitically modified chocolate fish to give away as a prize for some of the interesting little contests I host on my page?

Agreed. The fish is a winner.

I should note that in 1988 I paid 20 Lempira (about $10 USD at the time) to leave Honduras. Money well spent?

has been known to sell leaky boats

A good point. An even better Split Enz song.

I wonder if it made Number 1 in Honduras.I believe the capital, Tegucigalpa, was left off the world tour because they couldn't pronounce it.

I think Tim Finn was going through his purply-green with lemon polka-dots period and couldn't perform there because of the local llama problem.

Hondurus llama soup would make a nice starter for a feast of baked camel. Served just before the succulent cockroach entree. It would feed 80 to a 100 at a stretch
