[private_archives]Determined to help others understand that nothing doesn’t exist – that less is often more, Wigan became proficient in the art of micro-sculpture.
Each one of Wigan’s micro sculptures fits inside the eye of a needle and can only be seen under a microscope – the very patient sculptor sold his collection for 20 million dollars. That’s not nothing.

wow… what else is there to say?
Well, the problem here is that I can only express my opinion in expressions that would most certainly have to be….”bleeped”!!!Words fail me.
(And I hope those teachers are bloody well ashamed of themselves.)
