Kayo Dot is a hightlight of the week over at Aquarius

[avi]

well, the first question to ask would be "what exactly do oompa loompas eat?"

 

[xfer]

i think Wonka grinds up the bodies of dead Oompa-Loompas to make a nutritious slurry for the living.

 

[avi]

if that's so, then I would hypothesize that their stools are indeed orange in hue

 

[xfer]

i would also hypothesize that Wonka's factory is ripe for an outbreak of Creutzfeldt-Jacobs disease.

 

[avi]

"mad oompa-loompa disease"

 

[xfer]

on a related note, what's up with Dahl's original descriptions of the Oompa-Loompas being rewritten to turn them into miniature hippies instead of African pygmies?

 

[FuSoYa]

I think you know exactly what's up with that.
