hmmm......maybe I could use him for the construction of my cruise ship....he
could get into places no one else could go.....into the waste disposal tanks
to get rid of those nasty clogs.....or just grind up the head and use it as

maybe we should change the name of the messages into "The usefulness of Timmy"
(was: Timmy).....so many possibilities :-D
