Woodturning, especially penturning, could be a really rewarding hobby. At some stage I grew bored out of working with plain looking pieces of solid wood and decided to go composite. As I discovered empirically, when you are supergluing small pieces of exotic wood and the whole assembly starts falling apart, you should let it fall on the carpet and under no condition try to hold it together with your hands. A person with hands superglued one to another is sooo helpless!.. The resulting pen looked nice though.
"People are stupid ... almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule

Well, I haven't learned NOT to drink alcohol yet - so the age of miracles is not yet completely over!
It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
Remember your humanity, and forget the rest. - Joseph Rotblat
