    What makes you think that they're all separate entities, not just manifestations of one all encompassing irritant?

    Old Kodger,
    I really would not want to be around if you told a room full of Leprechauns, Fairies & Elves,(not that this would ever happen), that they were all the same!

    Has anyone else ever dropped something and couldn't find it and decided to drop another something, usually the last something, in order to see where the first something went only to lose the second something as well?

    Ha! I do that with the little bits that jump off the bench when I'm not watching...the trick is to focus on point of impact when you drop the second one...cheers

    Inconceivable! No deity would create such a diabolical, widespread, infinite, self-serving, despicable entity.
    Yet, on the other hand, I've no copy of the Master Plan...

    Oh yes they would what else is a deity to do after creating everything. Once created where's the entertainment in just watching man go about his daily lives without injecting a little serendipity in our lives

    I have dropped a second item to try to find the first, and have indeed lost the second. If the thing is really important, I typically find it by sweeping under the things I cannot see under, then sifting through the dust and debris that comes out.

    Yep, that's in phase 2 of mystery disappearance...and with my trusty floor magnet thingy...but recently working with SS...lost a 3mm nut...I make sure I overbuy at the big green box...you can never have enough spare hardware...I bought a 30 drawer mini cabinet, about 350mm square in 1980 and have been filling and using it's contents for the last 40 years...(one of my) grandsons calls it Grampy's lucky dip cabinet...always a treat to use a nut or bolt or such that you gleaned from an obscure source, even in the gutter walking the dog...handy if you never need it...cheers

    I stand corrected, hoping the assignment went to a lesser deity of nuisance exclusively?

    Meanwhile, also standing uncomfortably, with a metal chip in my sock.
    Inside high top boot.
    With full length trousers.
    With Tee-shirt not tucked in!
    ....how big are these Blue Men?
    Do they carry 10" ladders?

    They do not need ladders, they can morph and move around in very stealthy ways...
