Have you guys ever considered that a Flytyer can be a person who catches flies n' then play bondage with 'em?

Well, considering I am surrounded by Biologists at work, the thought has crossed my mind. They're an odd lot. Some of my favorite items found in the cafeteia fridge: A few petrie dishes with unknown contents; a dead bird in a specimen bag in the freezer; a brown bag labeled "DO NOT OPEN (I didn't)...I could go on, but it's just too painful (and true!)

Those would be some pretty nimble fingers.

How on Earth would you make chains and whips that small?

I do a lot of stuff from my 'armchair' mate. Astronomy, mathematics (I suck), physics and biology to name a few. I have a collection of skulls (lamentably not those of my enemies...my partner objects) and in my freezer is a jar of frogs. Outside, I have two dead birds being cleaned by my able assistants (ants).

Good grief Nick, you'd fit right in with over 3/4's of the folks I work with!

If biology is your thing go to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Home sometime...some good stuff there.

Yep, thats for sure.

Tire - meaning: to get tired of something or somebody.

Eg. "They began to tire themselves out early into the long run by..."

Ty´er - meaning: One who ties, or unites.

Tyre - meaning: A device covering the circumference of a wheel.

Of course in the US a "tyre" is a tire. So we put new tires on our cars.

Yeah but thats Americana and not English.

(Americans can't spell. - lol)

Cheers,
Dave
