Dead sea-weedy atop a thick stick? :( *blink in belated mourning*
I'm very fond of trees. Poorly trees always have such a sad air to them. I do hope yours perk up, Mikey.
In the meantime...
I've been looking at that Mariana snailfish Kavanagh posted the other day and have decided I also really like them too. You can't not can you? :) Not when they can withstand more than 1600 elephants standing on their heads. Just for the picture that made in my head I have to like them - although I wouldn't want to see it actually done.
Mathematical proof is fiiiiiiiine.
Now. To other matters.
Winning this thread. There have been clues. Or maybe there have been components of clues. I'm not sure, but that doesn't matter :) what does matter is that someone either wins that way or the post count/event way if that happens first which it could, but not for awhile I think.
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Thank you me too! I was able to get out there yesterday, it was in the mid 50'sF but all I had was some Epsom Salts, they love that too, so I put some of that around all 4 of them, 2 tall trees and 2 short trees, and I hope they like it. This past Summer they looked great but now all of a sudden they don't look so good, I hope they will make it thru to the upcoming Spring and Summer. I will get some fertilizer today, I think I will use the granular kind instead of the spikes this time though. Mine were all new this past Winter when I moved in and the company that puts them in isn't as good as they should be about doing it 'right'. To them if it doesn't fall over it's good to them, apparently though palm trees do not like being planted very deeply. These guys just scoop out a hole, with the depth of it varying by the backhoe operator, and drop them in and cover them up, they don't even tamp in the dirt around the edges, all of my trees and bushes had LOTS of air pockets around them I have filled in as I found them.
Well it is not the Challenger deep. I live in a hilly area of the UK where the limestone sinkholes are known locally as potholes. There is a bit of doggerel that goes:-
"There is Hunt pot and Hull pot,
some of them are bottomless and others even deeper".
So the deepest cave in the world is Annies answer which is something Cyrillic in the Caucasus currently over 2000 metres.
Are we thinking of some of the early survey/mapping efforts like Alex Humbolt, the Beagle, Dirk Hartog, Magellan or James Cook ? They did alot of soundings to measure the fathoms under the keel :
First Officer : "Yes Captain ! Sir ! You want to know how deep the water is, since you last asked not 20 minutes ago ? My my Sir, you do surprise me ever so ! Second Officer !"
Second Officer : "Bosun ! Find a smaller bosun, tie a rope to him and throw him o'er !"
Bosun : "Yes Sir ! And yes, smaller bosun I will count the knots accurately. Don't be insolent lad ! I know it's one yank for a shark, two yanks if you are drowning, and none if you have. As you were .... "
Splosh .... gurgle .... ta dum dee doo .... oh cripes ... did he fire six shots or only five ... do you feel lucky punk ?
Cheers, Mike.

The ones nature makes are so much better than the pigs' breakfasts we leave lying around the place I've found. I was really lucky to see the ones at Bourke's Luck. You could also "feel" them in the ground in places, although that might have just been me trembling everything.

That's really impressive. I've been looking at pictures of it and it really is :) It's not my answer though because it's only just occurred to me that it would have been a brilliant one... and that's not what you're dealing with here, people... No.
You're dealing with me.
Now I'm not sure whether they thought I'd clipped it there dead, or it had killed itself there en route - but either way - whilst I was waiting for the next central line train today - I was declared to be housing a dead mouse in my hair.
I wasn't. It was semi-fresh furball a cat had prepared earlier for me in my hood - so I could put it there as extra protection from the rain I suppose. We laughed. Him from some distance away. Me from the same spot I'd replied with "How dead?" like there was some kind of degree of dead that was more important to me than a mouse being there at all. What I had in fact been doing was weighing up the possibility that if it was merely an uninvited critique of what is always up there on my head - getting the heeby-jeebies slapping at it would look stupid, whereas if there was one - not getting the heebie-jeebies would appear... macabre.
And now I've said all that I've forgotten the point I was making.
edit: I missed some posts. I will return to them after I've fed a few faces.
It is done :) now - if you will all excuse me, I have correspondence to attend to. Firstly, I forgot to drool over your yoghurt, Kathryn :( A little trick I learned from a three year old. I'm in no doubt you enjoyed it as a result. None whatsoever... :)
thus disqualifying myself
What I think you did was disqualify post number forty-seven, Kavanagh. And forty-six too *long look* But the Inn invitation more than makes up for that. Thank you :)

If we are thinking - it would be nice if it was that wouldn't it? :) So now seems a good time to find out that we aren't, Mike... no. It would probably be worth mentioning however, that in some vague respect, measuring was going on - which ultimately a stick won, but not without help.
And if that's not useful to know, I don't know what is...

A stick won ?
Aha ! The shortest straw game ! The 'winning' crew member gets to jump overboard whilst the others count how many sharks ( or deep sea trench snails ) chase him ? A very naughty-cull pursuit indeed ....
Cheers, Mike.
( edit ) Maybe it's the number of fathoms below water level that the English cricket team is DownUnda ...... :-)

Makes the palm trees look so
Shredded?

It never fails to make me
It never fails to make me laugh when Annie is posting. The mental image of 14 elephants on top of that poor snail cracked me up.
I'm eating greek yogurt. Lemon meringue flavor.
