Since all of you numismatists out there are too shy to post articles,
I thought I'd post a totally irrelevant one.  I recently started
collecting little sponges from computer tapes and different colors
of write rings.  The little sponges come in three basic types:
black, dense sponges; blue, porous sponges; and gray, porous sponges
that are slightly larger than the other two.  If anyone has some
unwanted little sponges in Fine-Very Fine condition, I would like
them (my address is at the end of this article).
So far, I have 7 different colors of write rings.  The most common
ones are yellow and black.  In addition, I have some red, light blue,
and white, and a few dark blue and orange.  I would really like to get
some green rings.  Has anyone ever seen a green write ring?  I would
be willing to trade large numbers of other colors for green ones.
The latest fad in my school is hanging write rings on one's nose.
One girl balanced a write ring for 20 min. while going about her normal
activities.  Has anyone out there in netland balanced one for longer
(without letting it touch your chin)?  Reply to me (not the net) and
I won't summarize results to the net because I doubt anyone would want
to read it.
