yep, on fire, that's a good way to put it. Great contrast and wonderful proportions on that hook.

Mark - The second definition of "Oobleck" reminds me of a rheology class I took in college. We studied shear-thickening fluids (dilatant) such as water & cornstarch. Pretty neat stuff. I wonder if that is why I was so drawn to the name "Oobleck".
