    Watching that thing scoot around made me giggle like an idiot.

    Looks like fun AND very little chance of damaging myself in the making of it! The kids will be thrilled!

    Cool. You make enough of these, you'll never have to scrub anything again. Just set em loose.

    thats what I was thinking Ted!

    Put some temporary edging on my desk (so they can't fall off) add water/soap and tahdah!
