Sandcountry, good luck with your gluing endeavor. At least now you know that things could have gone worse. You might have been recruited into a secret boulder lifting mission. Now you know you got off easy and you also know, even if you are wearing a special belt, you need to keep a tight grip on your rocks!
Utopian, you need to take up a career as the guy who writes "morals to the story" - very pithy!
