A natural for a sugar or shortbread cookie. |
|
| |
And then of course there's the Aztec Oreo. |
|
| |
I see from [Voice]'s link that this is baked, but I like it so
much I'm bunning it anyway. |
|

Funnily enough, I have been reading the Epic of Gilgamesh this week (but not in the original cuneiform, sadly).
Good idea. Food. Culture. History. Yum! This product has my endorsement! |
|
| |
I must confess hadn't had the occasion, though did read
Robert Silverberg's Gilgamesh the King |
|
| |
<mandatory> wow, is that guy a reader. I heard he
swallowed Hammurabi's Code in one hour </mandatory> |
|

//reading the Epic of Gilgamesh this week (but not in the original cuneiform// Well quite frankly if that is the level that people here have sunk to I might have to stop visiting and find somewhere else with higher standards. What next, people posting here using computer operating systems they did not code themselves? |

[calum] I fear that proper tablet would not take the stylus impressions very well, it would crumble or split. And no-one is interested in the horrible commercial soft stuff. |
|
| |
Also I fear that the tablet would all be scoffed before the scribe could get started on writing the inscription. |
|
| |
//if that is the level that people here have sunk to//
I feel so ashamed. :( |

+ while the cookie is baked, I don’t see the cookie
maker! So I gave a bun for the cookie maker and
this is so cool. |
|
| |
The cookie maker could be like a waffle iron and
the cuneiform shapes could be movable so you
could make different patterns. |
|
| |
Ha! Of course it is. That's what you do to make cookies.
Great idea TC. You could make cryptic 'Fortune Cookie' like
messages then have people log into your webstore to find
out what it means. While they're there, they could order
more cookies - perhaps with custom messages. |

Hmm. How about a device with two rollers. The bottom just has a regular texture to grip the dough. The top has pins that move in and out to impress patterns or images in any language. As it rolls it resets the pins for the next go-round. A thing like a rolling pin would also be possible, but harder to implement. Secret codes for kiddies to work out and then eat the evidence? |
|
| |
Wait a minute:
sp. Cuneiform |
|
| |
(Damn, I'm getting slow.) |
|
| |
In the past year I've been in the process of re-transliterating
the original Anuma Alish and other inscriptions in (the
original) Cuneiform. In some cases the translation that
follows is very different. |
|
| |
I also agree with [calum] re tablet. I was in Tarbet eating
tablet about a week ago. How come you can't find Orkney
Fudge anywhere anymore? |
|
| |
Also - [Voice]'s //two rollers...pins// - a dot-matrix
rolling pin? Yes!
(hmm... position encoder, some kind of radial pin array) |
|
| |
And [pashute] //in (the original) Cuneiform//... thank
you. Restored my faith in HB |
