    Anyone for a pair of nice warm tabby-coloured slippers?

    (That is my question!!)

    Alex,
    no, no granadillas, my folks had a vine in their garden but I wasn't impressed. BTW to be fair, I didn't plant any of the wonderful stuff that's here, one of the previous owners used to work for the botanic gardens. Also if anyone wants a soursop they'd better hurry, the mongrel flying foxes are getting into them, found about six mangled soursops on the ground thiis morning. :mad:

    Well what are we going to do now? It would be a bit tricky to keep two questions going.

    Ozwinner is closest so far

    Clue: If you look at it long enough you can cut corners.

    A little bit of cryptic in the clue.

    Good one Bob, your turn.

    For those who didn't get the cryptic clue:

    Look at it for long enough - Stare - Stair

    Cut corners - round rasp

    What is the smallest advertising message ever written?


    I know that this is not an object yet, but it will be when you get the answer. If I show you the object now then the answer will be self evident.

    For IBM
    Not sure how many but one of their scientists once spelt out the company logo in individual atoms using an electron microscope.

    I think it was perhaps 12 atoms?
