    Uh, depends on the size of the angels?

    I recently made contact with an old friend from my Japan days. We were both looking for someone to list so we could update our security clearances.

    'Zippy' is the short form of his nickname. Full form is Zippy the Pinhead. Considering the circumference of his head and surface area and that he likes his angels on the voluptuous side, he'd fit 584 if you could nail his butt to a seat long enough for them to balance. However, it's really hard to catch zippy in a still position so I'd say as he whips around the corridors with his head always bobbling about, normally only 5 could hang on and the rest would be litering the passageways as they fell off.

    That do?

    being still there on his head... ;)

    You are welcome to try to convince them of that! Meantime, watch your feet if Zippy comes bobbling by... Something tells me yur karma balance goes down if you step on a dizzy angel.
