A mouse?



I mean, a ring that will suck the life out of your soul while making you invisible?

how far is up? well.. I suppose that has to do something with the gravity field on the planet on which one lives.. after a certain point there ceases to be an up.. there is only a perceptive version of 'up' failing that! the opposite of down! BOO-YA! a definition of what something is by which it is not! WOO!! (no wonder they hate me at work)

Legs - Man

Crawls in the morning of his life, walks upright in the midday, walks on three (w/ cane) at night...sans teeth, sans taste, sans eyes...sans everything.
