The sands of timewaster ...

Post by ChrisGreaves »

You won't catch me wasting time playing this game, because there is a buzzer-entry system here and I keep my doors locked.
However, I should point out a few nifty observations that I have inherited in my few minutes, ahem!, of research.
  • Plants grow when exposed to water.
  • Fire burns plants, but it burns oil faster.
  • The rates of plant, water, oil etc can be varied from 0 through 5.
  • Plants grow towards water
  • The eraser, held stationary, with the left-button held down, functions as a vacuum-cleaner
  • Fire cannot completely burn a plant once it reaches the water source
  • My mother would have loved this

I *hate* it when I have to be truthful(*).(grin)
I can't say I know the site, but I have been er, researching its material for over a week now, without any noticeable side-effects on my system,
I think I collected the original link from Steve Bass's newsletter a week or so ago.

(*)I'm on it about four, maybe eight times a day; far too often IMHO.

There wasn't anywhere to delete it and the first time it didn't "take" but somewhere along the line it did.
