Cool!
My goal is to get even less votes than last time (if that is possible.) And I have plenty of weird ideas that should do just that.
Cool, my thoughts are running wild now. Just one entry...ok, I'll wake up Sir Ima,

We are so rich in natural wonders, I will have to rack my brain for a suitable man-made example. In any case, I am not writing an ode to the CN Tower!
-
OH!! I shall have to think of this!
Hummmmm... thinking!

An Apology from Heathcote!
As Heathcote is overseas at present, he has asked me to apologise on his behalf and to comment on all entries for him. He will, of course, read every one when he returns, hopefully in time for the close of this contest.
