What an amazing spread of icons mean `thing' to different people! Would all
these people understand each others icons? perhaps we ought to have a
`guess the icon' competition once a week.

I keep trying to draw a `thing'. Each time it comes out looking like a
King Edward potato. Or maybe a satellite picture of Phobos. Would a
potato-ish thing do?
