Geez, I'm blonde too and even I know you may not be able to walk around it. Since glass is a liquid, you just poke a hole in it and it drains away. The real problem is finding a big enough bucket.*Kia* said:Walk round and have a look of course :tongue:

Like to see you try with the Great Glass Wall of China.*Kia* said:Walk round and have a look of course :tongue:
Not to worry, liquids take the shape of their container, so the glass will fill in the hole. :tongue2:The Bob said:But there's a hole in the bucket,

But there is a hole in the bucket,

Well someone around here needs to set a good example. But, good dear wolram, do not, as some ungracious pastors do, show me the steep and thorny way to heaven, whiles, like a puff’d and reckless libertine, himself the primrose path of dalliance treads, and recks not his own rede. (That would include references to butts, wicked or otherwise. :tongue2: )wolram said:It gives me joy, that you did not fall into horrors rose with wicked bent.
