Hi Brian - I was afraid that Clumpy would end up causing some kind of 
international incident. Keep him busy with the wiring and don't let him 
near any Diet Mt. Dew or you'll have a electrical scheme that nobody will 
be able to decipher. I'll have to talk with Doug about having Kλουμπιος 
come back with Clumpy. Heck, I am not really sure how Clumpy deals with a 
border crossing - don't think we applied to get him a passport!

Re: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - the Answer






Kλουμπιος is asking what the chances are of going back with Clumpy? Will 
he need a Green Card?
