Some things change. I too was one of those in the playground until I grew older and found there were much more fun (and rhyming) things to do with them...although the end result was the same: the boys end up on their knees begging for mercy.

Y'know, I'm not really surprised.

About the Rat

Black Knight is interested in the interaction of science (as a day job and as a way of thinking) with his family, the wider community and literature. And tormenting students. Frequently polemical, sometimes serious, and hopefully always entertaining more
