Indeed. Yeeessss. T'is the conundrum of The Annie Factor. I once stomped off quite miffed because I'd used mere logic in a discussion with her. Sir Roger Penrose wrote a lovely book - The Emperor's New Mind - associating the randomness of quantum mechanics at microscopic levels with our thinking processes. Perhaps I should say, politely, that Annie is closer to the true grain of The Universe than the rest of us. :-)
There is a method, with stick involvement, that does ..... err ..... ummm .... bring forth the next generation's DNA. Ahem. I think they went down that route with the Panda Bears ....
Cheers, Mike.

A rollercoaster ride to other than one's point of origin, I am certain. ;-)
I, Ffing, fear Annie may be struggling to exit a closed door...
however - that might not be fear... ;-)
In the past I've found a swiftly moving foot striking very near the handle opens most doors pretty quickly. I even broke the latch on one metal door one time that way, they provided us a key the next time we needed to get in that door.
You don't think Henry's preoccupation with gravity meant he missed the discovery of the scientist/non-scientist differentiator and sorting device, do you?
It's just it looks like something my wardrobe is intuitively capable of conjuring up by itself, but with less symmetry.
I mean... we who see coat hangers ensnared by stray yoyos, unravelling hems and departing buttons - and call it a mess - are clearly very different to you lot who see just a tweakable earth-weighing device.
Having said all that,

Thank you, Mikey :) Most useful... and when you've been plunged into darkness in the far reaches of a room... somehow... *look at no Gary in particular* ... what do you recommend then?
;)
But that's not why I'm here.
*suddenly... beam proudly at everyone's pertinences*
In no particular order other than backwards, people -
here *point there* are my comments on your comments...
1. "Drumstick, but I am disqualified" - If the drumsticks could speak, that is exactly what they would have said, Kavanagh. Yes. A most inspired pertinence if I may say so.
2. "Did you find any water with it?" There would have definitely been an element of water required in the fluidity of the findings that were being indirectly established/sought, Mikey... so well done for bringing it to everyone's attention.
3. "A dowsing stick" *slow blink* quite frankly - without the stick I don't think they would have been able to get what ended up adorning it to work either. Interestingly - the idea of waggling a two-pronged one both equally adorned, doesn't seem to have entered their minds - but as they were, in my opinion, already out of them, I suppose I will look on that as being a small mercy, of sorts. Yes.
4. "...the next generation's DNA" oh well done, yes...*perturb eyes* I was afraid that if it was left to me to say anything like that, bald indelicacy would have won the day.
5. "One is not confident a link between Cavendish and..." At point of writing, Mr Ffing - that is a pertinence. It's not the only one relating to confidence though. No.
But I'm ignoring it at the moment.
I once stomped off quite miffed because I'd used mere logic in a discussion with her.
My brother is the most logic-bound person I know and he still rolls it out at me ;) I don't think he ever fully recovered from the appearance of twin sisters twelve years into his life if I'm honest, but after all this time, I would have thought - logically - that he'd have given up, but oh no... ;)

I'm going to read that... :)
edit: I could just keep editing-in a line space between 3 and 4 and then post it without it appearing at all couldn't I...? Yes - why not! :)
I'm now trying 2 - mainly because I can't sleep.
It's about a minute later now. For regular visitors to this post, you will notice there is now a space where there wasn't one before. For those who aren't - there wasn't where there now is.
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
I'm trialing a new avatar after 12 years here. It is of course Gromit. It's a 'querkle' where you have the fun of colouring by numbers, per circle. People who are nearly 60 years old can do it ! :-)
Cheers, Mike.

A slow walk back to the door using your feet to feel for obstacles and with your hands out in front of you too, it's not like there should be any holes etc in the floor to fall thru so crawling isn't needed. Go slowly so you don't trip and fall when you do find something. You have a general idea of the layout, even if you don't remember it exactly, because you were already walked in there before it went dark. If there are boogeymen in there it's too late to worry about them so just slowly make your way back towards where you think the door should be, if you don't find it first try keep moving along the wall until you do. You came in it so you KNOW it's there someplace. Your eyes will also slowly get used to the dark and could be able to pick up the cracks of light coming from around the door the longer you are in the room. The key is to not panic, it's JUST a room, and logically find your way out.
