And if you wonder what is the sense of it.... well, you can build nice castles of it While looking up on internet translation for "a hanging, tapering piece of ice formed by the freezing of dripping water" I came across a question about usage of icicle as murder weapon:
If you use an icicle to kill someone what evidence is left behind?
It melts after you use it so your fingerprints go away. And if you were to leave footprints melt them away. What other evidence would you leave behind?
Well, some people are really very ... inventive.
I guess to do the dastardly deed one would have to wait for some very bad weather ;) I really like your iciclearium!
ReplyDeleteThanks ERS :)
DeleteYou better commit your crime just before the weather is turning warmer to make sure that the ice and snow melt away. Or you need to get your murder icicle from iciclearium, a new customer segment in addition to castle-builders?
ReplyDeleteFor me, I am more for peaceful segment , I thought something like licking icicle for children with coca-cola, raspberry or (ice) tea flavor :)
DeleteHaha the mind boggles...now I'm thinking...Murder...is it a great advantage...blood splatter on the clothes...unless you are naked..bit cold... on the other hand...boil the murder weapon and drink it in a nice cup of tea...haha!
ReplyDeleteI've tried boiled, murder weapon coffee. It's not so good.
DeleteIciclearium is a good idea. For eskimos maybe. Make sure you have homeowners insurance in case your guests get struck by falling icicles, though.
ReplyDeletegood point :)
DeleteI keep wondering how it would look like when the icicles grow and grow and grow downwards, and would grow so much that in the end the castle would look like an upside down icicle, pointing towards the sky!
ReplyDeleteBut it is not unthinkable of icicles could grow so deep and would showed up on the other side of the globe,,,,,
