Are you faster than a snail?

A snail is at the bottom of a well. The well is thirty meters deep. The snail advances three meters in one day. During the night, the snail slides back two meters. How many days will it take the snail to top the well?

Dear Mr. Hughes,

I look forward to the CC.

Please come prepared to share.

The1stBA - you couldn't have a more loyal fan than her - sent me this YouTube. I think you will get a kick out of it.

Respectfully yours,

Mr. Donkey

From Rachel, with love

Glad you enjoyed your trip. I enjoyed my coffee this morning in the cup you brought home for me . . . and of course, they made a fuss over me at Starbucks.

Walla Walla

What's a walla-walla?

Some think it is a sweet onion. Others may tag it as a university town in Washington. Well thanks to ArcaMax Publishing I know this:

A walla-walla scene is one where extras pretend to be talking in the background -- when they say "walla-walla" it looks like they are actually talking.

Right or left, your brain that is

Follow the spinning dancer and determine if you are predominately left or right brained.

Thanks to The1stBA for the diversion. After this week, a few Ramboids might require a more serious variety of diversion.

Belly Flops

From Donkey's mail bag:

Jelly Belly® sell's some of its mistakes online - they call them Belly Flops. How much you ask? $8.00 for 2 lbs.

The e-mail reads in part:

Belly Flops are just as tasty as regular Jelly Belly jelly beans; they just come in wild shapes and sizes. You may find one that’s round, one that’s square, or you may even find a bunch stuck together (two or more beans in one – sweet!). On very rare occasions, a flavor may not match a color. A red Belly Flop might taste like Blueberry, or a white one might taste like Chocolate Pudding. Crazy!

Photograph is Jelly Belly art. More at Jelly Belly linked here. Looks like more fun than needle point . . .

Nope, nobody is paying Donkey to plug the Belly Flops . . .
