Incidentally, why isn't "spacecraft" another word for "interior design"?

       Why //-Hippo// ? A hippo is not a moth, and therefore would not be expected anyway.
MaxwellBuchanan, Aug 24 2010
  

       The wooden display case accompanying the hippo would be large enough to repurpose as a garden shed, so I'd consider subscribing, but only if I could know the sequence of deliveries in advance. If the hippo case is early enough in the set then I might get a bargain shed and be able to cancel my subscription, but if it comes late the cost would be greater than just buying a shed from a shed shop.

       Maybe I wrote the idea, and signed it "-Hippo". However, I don't remember doing this.

[Edit: I was sort of joking just there, but a quick search reveals that this is an annotation I wrote on another idea. How embarassing.]

       It's not plagiarism when the authorship is attributed to me - at least, not "shameless" plagiarism - it's just weird.

       how very odd. nice idea, [hippo]   

       was this related to the finnish moth idea?   

       (edit: apparently not)

       The great idea should not be doomed to obscurity just because Hippo is not adept at credit-claiming. I just wanted people to appreciate the invention.

       barring an explanation as to how moths are "historical", I'll just cancel my subscription after the introductory hippo.

       I think he meant "hysterical"... which could mean they're trapped inside a window or that they're suffering a short-term mental illness?
