Why //-Hippo// ? A hippo is not a moth, and therefore
would not be expected anyway. |
|
|
The wooden display case accompanying the hippo would be large enough to repurpose as a garden shed, so I'd consider subscribing, but only if I could know the sequence of deliveries in advance. If the hippo case is early enough in the set then I might get a bargain shed and be able to cancel my subscription, but if it comes late the cost would be greater than just buying a shed from a shed shop. |

Maybe I wrote the idea, and signed it "-Hippo". However, I don't remember doing this.
[Edit: I was sort of joking just there, but a quick search reveals that this is an annotation I wrote on another idea. How embarassing.] |

It's not plagiarism when the authorship is attributed to me - at least, not "shameless" plagiarism - it's just weird. |

how very odd. nice idea, [hippo] |
|
|
was this related to the finnish moth idea? |
|
|
The great idea should not be doomed to obscurity
just because Hippo is not adept at credit-claiming.
I just wanted people to appreciate the invention. |
|
|
barring an explanation as to how moths are "historical", I'll just cancel my subscription after the introductory hippo. |

I think he meant "hysterical"... which could mean
they're trapped inside a window or that they're
suffering a short-term mental illness? |
