I don't want it cleared up that quickly; I'm funded!

Who by? I didn't think we had a mining industry left, and for those of us who might otherwise loose interest, is a cone shaped crusher just like a giant pointy stick?

<ponders the possibilities>

What type of rock crusher?

Confidentiality clause prevents me from answering further. There are people with gags waiting in the treehouse wings.

Ah yes about the treehouse, now I've been expelled I seem to have lot more time on my hands, so I thought I would get on with my own thesis. I intend to prove that increased efficiency in cone crushers brought on by a mathmatical model of their workings, will in no way compensate for the extra expense incurred in having to build new crushes, export them and train operators.

It's nearly finished, but of course if I were to be magically unblowntobits in the treehouse I may never find the time to publish......

I can't wait to do my thesis. I'll title it "Voodoo and how paying me lots will result in you not having severe misfortune."

I wrote a thesis a few years ago, it was titled "Peculiar Culinary Objects".

and the most peculiar culinary object is ..... ?

Almost certainly has to be the tea egg.

Egg tea could quite possibly be the most bizarre culinary creation - coming to MasterChef tomorrow night.

There are too many to choose from. I would have to say one of the top ten was an 18th Century egg beater- a small jar with a lid and lots of long pointy spikes on the interior.

Egg tea didn't quite make it into the thesis..

A 'tea egg' is what my Hungarian housemates call the openable little wooden container with holes that is loaded with tea leaves and then dumped in hot water.

Hmm, with a doughnut, you say?

Bib's egg beater sounds a like a medieval torture device... I must have one!

Cooks are mean. They whip the cream and beat the eggs. Poor innocent ingedients....

Ah yes but they do have their one weak point. They all need dough.

D'oh....
