Well, the fuzzies have discovered yet another interesting method of
attempting suicide.  Everybody's just fine, but thought I would mention
this, because it certainly could have been serious.
 
The instrument of death is what we call "Nordic Surprise": furniture in a
box. 30 pieces of laminated board, an allen key, and Swedish instructions...
ring a bell?
 
Well, I have three tall sets of "Nordic Surprise" bookshelves.  Each shelf
is supported by four metal pegs.  The part of the peg that supports the
shelf is covered by a chewy plastic sleeve...and this is what caught the
interest of the fuzzies.
 
In an effort to remove the chewy sleeves, two pegs were removed from one
shelf.  I now have one proud fuzzy, and 300 previously sorted floppy disks
all over my floor.
 
Interestingly, it seems that the monsters have been able to de-sleeve some
of the pegs without removing the shelves.  Clearly, I am going to have to
finish that job for them.  (Hiding the sleeves somewhere, NOT dumping the
contents of the shelves on the floor.)
 
Lynn.
