Remember the thing about America’s development of the space pen? When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300 C. The Russians used a pencil.

Lessons From A Tortoise

When trouble attacks, I make no noise Simply take on the foe with poise. Curling into a ball I retreat into my shell The hard familiar territory Makes me resolute that after this hell All shall be well. They kick me and toss me around. Take my heart and break it in two. Hurt of violence only we victims know Scaring us to death, the oppressors go. But I don’t fear them now As I am faith bound For the key to survival I have found. I learnt this defense from a tortoise Enter your shell don’t think twice, Harden against your enemy And plot your counter-attack. Do not forget to take it slow and steady It will win you the race And your hardened shell-like-mask Might just be the saving grace. Don’t mock the ‘tortoise’ you ‘cruel rabbits’ They’ll make a comeback and tear you to bits. We, the so-called meek have learnt our Lessons from a tortoise. When trouble attacks, we’ll make no noise Entering our shell we will retaliate and take on the foe with poise Now before you rabbits begin your brutal games It’s your time to think twice (26 June 2006.) .Pd. is here

[TheOldLady]

Thank you, Mr. Deo. I think it’ll all be all right.

[Lady Jag]

Pretty to look at, age and wisdom prefers the pictures to frigid adventures.

[TheOldLady]

Amen.

[TheOldLady]

Very interesting. That old tortoise shell can certainly protect us if
we make use of it. Metaphorically, of course, but still great advice.
