the eye observes vol 4
a couple of little visual nuggets
#1
these are known as "seat tacks", or also known as "ass scorpions". i made them myself.
they are to be placed on a hard seat surface (especially a wooden chair), that somebody would likely unknowingly sit upon.
these little caltrops are made by twisting together two staples. they have to be twisted just so, as they not only must stand on their own, but they must maintain shape for long enough to penetrate a layer of clothing... believe it or not, this is no easy task.
when the revolution begins, i will be armed and ready. will you?
#2
when the moon is in the seventh house, and the sun and alpha centauri are aligned just right, and the moon is 40% waxed and the tides defy its gravitational pull; when buddhist monks of the highest order chant forbidden prayers no nearer than 700 miles, and a clock that is perfectly synchronized with the atomic clock is no further than two feet away, and another clock that is off by exactly 3.7 seconds is no further away than three feet; with the greatest concentration of one who has a hand so steady that it is easily mistaken for a fake hand...
an egg can be balanced, on end, on the cranium of only the purist genius.

i hope someone finds your page while searching for "ass scorpions"
I just did. I came here after googling "ass scorpions"
I read about them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caltrop
(I actually remember these from school, hence my renewed interest in them)
I never heard them called either ass scorpions or seat tacks though - I don't think we had a name for them.
