Just saw two new faces in the Heads Up gallery. Who might they be?


I can tell you who Fiona is. She is our gardener here at TGS camp. She takes care of the pretty flowers and of our home-grown fruit and vegetables too. Her hard work is highly valued around here.

As for the other person. That is a bit of a secret. For now at least.



Oooh… I wonder if either of them will be involved in the “Sinktember” shenanigans


Fiona will take part in those "shenanigans". And a lot of other people too.

This year there will be a special Sinktember event at TGS. You can read more about it in my post over there. The short version is that each day of Sinktember someone will try to cross our specially prepared pit. Feel free to make bets on who will or will not succeed. I have been told it will be quite difficult.

I have to say, I'm really enjoying your daily Sinktember updates! It's fun to see every participant's progress across (and into) the Little Pit of Doom.

Thank you!

Only one of the first eight participant has made it across. That is not exactly a lot. The Little Pit of Doom is the clear winner thus far. :twisted: But there are still 22 more to come. :D

Here's a question: Will the Great Swamp get a clay quarry at one point?

Glad to see more successfully making it across the Little Pit of Doom!

Especially Danica - to be honest, reading Seeking Solitude and going through so many different possible scenarios in an attempt to rescue her made me rather fond of her. ;)

Very sexy. Most of the entrants stand no chance :mrgreen: And love that Tom (ie us!) is the one to go all the way under - I'm sure we couldn't resist the opportunity!

Makes me wonder if such a consistency could be made in real life? Low-density enough that you can sink all the way, viscous enough that you can't swim out, and still shear-thinning like quicksand (as opposed to oobleck which is shear-thickening).

Probably should have said earlier, but just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying the various Little Pit of Doom episodes, They're great fun! Thanks for your efforts on this.

I have no plans for that, so probably not.

The only one to go under even faster was Miranda. :)

The R&D team did an amazing job there. This mixture is now kind of a trade secret, so I cannot give it away. You will have to do your own experiments. ;)

Thanks for saying it now! :)

So there is only one more week (+1day) of Sinktember left. Enjoy watching the final 8 challengers of the pit! :D
