ROFLOL Under the present circumstances i feel somewhat disrespectfull
showing such
mirth, but an injection of lighter issues was most welcome.

The visual images this written description caused me, could well form the
basis of a highly amusing
new 3D animation. Am almost done with my current round of personal
projects, atomic Anims are
mostly easy essentially comprising lots of spheres and cylinders, with few
textures.

Thanks
