I've heard that they have flexible skeletons and can squeeze through
spaces as small as a pencil.  I think that is a bit of an exhageration,
but they do have their ways.

Correct -- I just impale the raisin on the little metal prong, then
spred on the peanut butter and set the trap.  Order is important:-}}

 DSh> Has she actually gotten her tongue snapped? 

 DSac> No, I think she's just got her nose smacked. I guess that hasn't been

Hard head?

 DSac> You know, she's the total opposite of Zim that way. When I had to

From your reply to Janis re picnic, she seems the opposite in other
ways.  I take it that she gets along with Zim, but does not like sharing
him with Roger's dogs.

  onions, leeks, celery, and carrots. Saute vegetables, then add washed
  lentils, beef stock, potatoes, cumin, bay leaf, thyme, and nutmeg.
  Simmer for about an hour and a half (I don't cook it that long, but I
