> [anecdote about whales in an aquarium blowing and playing with air ring] I once knew a guy who was released from jail after 22 years. He could blow nested smoke rings, but more impressive was his ability to flip lit cigarettes from his mouth, into the air, and into his mouth again. He had some pretty good scars from learning the trick, too. Confinement, time, and an unchanging simplistic environment are great teachers of weird skills. -t
