I COULD TELL you what NASA research says about them, but I reckon you can read that for yourself should you have a mind to. Plus, this Shel Silverstein poem on the topic is far more entertaining:
He's pretty famous and all that apparently, but I'd never heard of Shel Silverstein until today. Maybe he was embargoed here in New Zealand or something. But I'm glad I've discovered him now. Not only did he create fantastic kid's poems, tales and cartoons, but also numerous songs, including 'A Boy Named Sue' made popular by Johnny Cash. Another example of his musical prowess is this unique little number. Hidden depths - or shallows? You choose.
Here endeth, at least for now, my hiatus. Back to jumping for Joy then (it's my middle name after all).
