@athanie: I have an inexplicable obsession with the words 'begin' and 'return'. I sometimes write or draw them when I doodle. I put a stencilled and painted 'Return' on to a painting I did for a friend. I nearly put begin on there too but it didn't work. This means I have a spare 'Begin' knocking around. Seemed to work at the bottom of the tower.

@rabbitdan: since the randomState() is a function, it should be necessary to keep the actual states in the same scope. I don't know, I'm not really a Java programmer. Give me a shell script or some CGI with Perl in it over some dead kiddie-language you can only run slowly and under tomcat any day.

I have to admit, this was my first snapshot, and when I saw it, I decided to try to recapture it with even more spools falling. That lead to a series of about 20 photos of the spools either already lying on the ground or falling towards me - which wasn't nearly as interesting. That'll teach me to try rig a photo again!
