So I've been using it to 'explore the microscopic world' as it says on the box. It's so weird looking at things close up. Ah, I should have been a scientist. Anyway, here are some interesting close ups of everyday things:
A piece of shiny nylon:
Salt:
Sugar:
And also some time-lapse photography of a snail:

That snail thing is sheer genius. Brilliant.
Ha ha. Thanks. It kept running away. Funny snail. Ahh. Isn't it odd how some things look more scary close up, and yet snails look sweet?
Well I think that wee beastie is bloody scary but quite impressive.
Maybe I'll make a horror film based around large snails. Well, large, small snails.
it could be like Changing Rooms, and people come in and help them decorate the inside of their shells
Yeah, Changing Shells. Ha ha. I wonder what it would be like to live in a shell?
They'd have to ask the snail what colour they absolutely don't like and then decorate the shell with that exact colour.
But what would happen to the snail while its shell is being decorated? I mean, isn't it meant to be a surprise, so the whole shock of the horrible mess hits them all at once, rather than in little stages?

can i say things yet?
oh God, ive posted the same thing 3 times then said can i post yet. argh. cos it kept saying it was wrong and stuff and wouldnt post. good job i didnt test it with anything embarrassing!
Alternatively you could have said something like 'Vote for Poppy' loads of times and the next thing you know, you'd be primeminister.
I think what would happen would be that the snail would check into a shell hotel for a bit. All expenses paid.
Prime minister being one word, obviously.
Vote for Poppy
etc.
etc.
when do i move in?
ah yes, a shell hotel. would that be made of one giant shell, or many small ones?
Well there would have to be a choice, the thing is, the hotel with the large shell would have a swimming pool, but the hotel made of small shells has a sea view and en-suite bathrooms in most rooms, except the airing cupboard. Which has a Corby trouser press.
i see. but where would they get all the shells from? and would there be a Hotels From Hell show?
Would Basil Fawlty be running this hotel?
Oh yes there would be a 'from Hell' show. There has to be. The hotel with the leaky shell. The hotel with cockroaches. They would get the shells from a distant planet where shells grow to the size of... hotels, and where all people look exactly like Ricky Gervais.
Ah yes Catpee, that could be a possibility. And then some Germans would come to stay, and well, it would all end up on Hotels from Hell, dodgy hotel staff.
hello cat.
so can snails only go in this hotel if they have no shell? or would they be slugs then?
Ooh I don't know. The whole slug/snail thing is such a confusing one. Is a slug a snail with no shell, or is a snail a slug with a shell? Well I suppose the slugs could borrow a shell, from a shell hire shop.
i bet you can get different sizes and standards and quality and things. so what came first the slug or the snail? i think slug, then they sort of adapted by making shells, and then they started being born with the shells. but the stupid slugs didnt get the shells and their descendants are stil slugs. survival of the fittest and all that.
If you pour salt on a snail, will it bubble like a slug??
Pehaps that's what the shell is for.........although what about the bits that stick out of the shell?? It's really not very useful at all is it?
Why would a snail hotel have a trouser press?
Although they can smarten up your tie if you have creases in it - I suppose corporate big-wig snails would wear ties.
Perhaps slugs are homeless snails?
A bit more compassion for slugs says I!
I demand a slug edition of the Big Issue now!
Well, the trouser press is for the hermit crabs.
Ha ha, were you Darwin in a previous life Poppy? I think that maybe so.
Ah poor bubbling slugs. I suppose it would depend on whether the
snail was indoors at the time, as to whether it would bubble or not.
You're right Jim, I demand slug equality NOW!
The thing is, how do we know that the slugs aren't just snails popping down the shops or something? I mean you wouldn't want to lug your house round the shops.
Snails are undercover slugs.
Quite literally in fact!!
(If one more person comes over to me complaining that their bags haven't arrived, I'll......I'll....well quite frankly I don't know what I'll do, but they won't like it, I can assure you)
You could always just give them something from lost property.
i think beig Darwin in a previous life could be rather interesting to be honest. or perhaps i wrote the bible? was i Jesus? oh actually he didnt write it did he. oops.
Yes it would be interesting. I might keep out of the limelight and opt for the person that did the bookbinding on the first bible.
yes, thats good, a sort of low profile special person. i think i'll be the illustrator.
Excellent. Make sure you get all the royalties and you'll be rich forever.
do you think they'll notice if i slip in, oh i dont know, a few recorders into the drawings?
Lol it's worth a try, and you could have everyone at The Last Supper eating cornflakes and Snickers.
yes, one of the disciples discreetly slipping a snickers bar down his trousers.
Hehehe.
