A little something for all you flat-earthers out there.

Perfectly safe for work.

That's pretty cool actually, I may have a use for it somewhere in my house.

Since we're on the subject--why does R.S. do so damn many crafts? I've never been good at them, ever. So we do this Super Saturday craft day, yippee, no way I'm showing up for that.

So they never have time to have an independent thought or ask questions...

I remember telling a girl I worked with that for homemaking that night we were going to learn to make homemade Reeses peanut butter cups. She asked "Why?"... and I had no idea how to answer that.

I think the craft obsession started to keep women from climbing the walls with boredom at home and from wanting to look for a job or education. Some people are honestly crafty and love it. I don't mind the practical stuff (quilting, baking bread) but a lot of crafts are just clutter and way too cutesy for me.

It's a crocheted baptismal font!

This is wrong on so many levels - like a crocheted Jesus head with the crown of thorns spiked with starch and tissue dispensed out of the top of his head.

Just in time for Easter!

I'm pretty sure that TSCC isn't big on Terry Pratchett novels. I sure hope he can crank out a couple more before he fades away (Damned Alzheimer's).

How utterly Discworld of you!

includes the napkin/tampon crafts. Consider this an invite to show the worst of those.

Well that was a total waste of someone's talent...maybe helmet liners for our soldiers would be a better use of time and talent...whoops...wrong choice of words.

Have you seen bunny rabbits made from Clorox bottles?

My, what genius.

I think it's cute, but I'm partial to turtle and Native American peoples' legends.

That's marvelous.......... and is probably inspired by Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' more than anything else.

If I am correct, that is the ancient Hindu version of the universe. It is the earth on the backs of four elephants who are on the back of a turtle.

Looks fabulous.

Supposedly, in Bertrand Russell's 1927 lecture "Why I Am Not a Christian," while discounting the First Cause argument intended to be a proof of God's existence, Russell comments (with an argument not relevant to modern Hindu beliefs):

<<If everything must have a cause, then God must have a cause. If there can be anything without a cause, it may just as well be the world as God, so that there cannot be any validity in that argument. It is exactly of the same nature as the Hindu's view, that the world rested upon an elephant and the elephant rested upon a tortoise; and when they said, "How about the tortoise?" the Indian said, "Suppose we change the subject.">>

What does the turtle sit on? Another turtle. And beneath that?... "It's turtles all the way down"

I'll have to read up on that myth. That's a very interesting form of the "Atlas" concept.

..Too clever and probably requires too high of a skill set to make for RS craft time.

Seriously, that thing took some mad crochet skillz.

AWWWWW Cute!

Where are the directions for making it???

Bet you still could use it as a RS 'craft' about twenty years ago when they really had Homemaking meetings that lasted long enough to do something in!!

It could have introduced as a 'missionary' talking tool, you know would you like to know more about the enlightened church???
