Re: My GSP PUFFED =O
They are such spikey little guys, I've only seen that once. I always used to wonder how they could hold the spikes out to poke things, if they were little bags full of water when puffed. Until I saw one get sucked into a vortex diatom filter intake. It puffed up so violently it stuck up the pump, saving itself from being sucked in. If they can puff hard enough to jam a vortex intake, they can stay firmly puffed against any bite I can think of.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

Good Lord, Nick.

"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Wow, those teeth were like razor sharpened needles and they could not get through that pufferhide. Really impressive.
