A Bit of Useless Info

Probably the same guy who once caught a fish "thhhiiiis biiiig"

I find that a little unbelievable about the snowflake...i think.......

yeh, that's not a snowflake, it's a snow ball.

That guy was on some snow peyote and he shared with the guiness crew.

I'm pretty sure all the snowflakes were that size.  Call it a hunch.

Yeah but how could someone fake a snowflake?  Hmm...

Cool story.  We could pay snowflake frisbee with a flake that size.  There could be 8 inch-thick frisbees going at once.  Or make snowflake pancakes.  As long as there's no yellow.

So you don't buy the 'rougue snowflake' theory?  I didn't think it was plausible either.  I can picture it though.  The Roughe Snowflake was chillin up in the stratosphere with its legs up on a cumulus nimbus and smoking a Lucky Strike when suddenly some of the grease from its hair drips onto the floor and the two legs of his chair that are on the nimbus slip and he falls down to earth.  Yeah, like that could ever happen.  I guess the only other alternative is that all snowflakes were about that big way back in the day.

I'm gonna go with the latter!  But entertaining story!

"A few snowflakes began to fall, falling slowly, very slowly, taking their time, as if waiting for Tanuki--or anybody--to notice them; as if stalling until some wonderstruck bystander might remark on their beauty and how no two snowflakes are ever exactly alike.  At what point, it's fair to ask, did snowflakes start believing their own publicity?"

That had been the first snowfall of the season.  When the last snow fell at winter's end, toward the middle of March, the figure that stood in the badger's clearing was casting a humanlike shadow.  Falling only marginally faster than November's intrepid trailblazer, preening on the breeze; boasting in a fluttery stage whisper, 'Regardez-moi.  The likes of me has never been seen before and will never be seen again,' the very last flake in line (self-delusional to the finish) landed on an eyelid...There, it was summarily flicked off by a thumb." -TR, VI

Ha!  I love Tanuki! 

incidentally, that guy also holds the record for largest milk pan
