When one ponders it, he may well be a step higher on the evolutionary ladder than the rest of us, since he fares exceptionally well as long as there&#8217;s a device between himself and the &#8220;hard&#8221; world. The imminently future modern man will indeed need a motor cortex specifically attuned to digital dexterity, so there you have it&#8230;</p> GreyStork http://faerye.net/post/the-magic-shoe#comment-384 2003-08-07T13:33:23+00:00 2003-08-07T13:33:23+00:00 <p>Wonko falls over? I knew his car did, but that had extenuating circumstances.</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/the-magic-shoe#comment-382 2003-08-07T12:16:59+00:00 2003-08-07T12:16:59+00:00 <p>No, silly.

Not to mention that people with a history of spontaneously falling down would find the experience far more agreeable. We all know to whom I refer, yes? ;o)</p> GreyStork http://faerye.net/post/the-magic-shoe#comment-376 2003-08-06T18:38:20+00:00 2003-08-06T18:38:20+00:00 <p>Ooh, I bet falling on chocolate wouldn&#8217;t hurt.</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/the-magic-shoe#comment-375 2003-08-06T16:35:31+00:00 2003-08-06T16:35:31+00:00 <p>And so the Princes traveled far and wide in her ugly Magic Shoe, finding no solice. Until one day she came upon a small sprite with a scraped knee and a bump on it&#8217;s head. And so the Princes told the sprite her tale of woe. But the sprite smiled at her, and told her of a land far away where clumsy people just like her live happy lives full of love and chocolate, and the occasional minor injury. <br /> <br /> :) I sympathise.</p> Lady Zaria
