 Micro engraving service for finger nails

Imagine the advantages of always having an encyclopedia, the entire works of Shakespeare, Flann O'Brian and anything else you can conceive, engraved in micro script on your fingernails. These would be viewed using a super slim, powerful magnifying device. Entire art galleries could be "at hand" and the "thumbnail sketch" could take on a new meaning as the Sistine Chapel revealed its splendour on the corner of an index finger nail. The possibilities are endless. The information would naturally need regular refreshing, but such is the way of all printed matter. As a deterrent to nail biting, what could be better than confining the last pages of any publication to the outer edge of the nail that is usually the preferred snack of the nervous and ill at ease.

       I don't know much about the size of micro script, I'm guessing rather small, but shirley the complete works of Shakespeare still wouldn't fit?

       Lots of exam takers, nonchalantly checking their cuticles rather too regularly...   

       One of our lecturers (Doug Hainline) let us take a 5"x3" card in to our 1st year exams. He was a genius really. He knew that in order to make the notes fit onto the card (and you could!) you had to par-away all the rubbish and compact the pure info... That's normally called revising. Almost everyone took him up, and almost everyone passed! Hardly anyone referred to their cards. Like I said, genius.
