It is all perfectly logical. I stop where I start, but I do not actually stop or start at all. I am an endless cycle, rotating without moving from a fixed axis. The special qualities vested in me as a result of this are hardly extraordinary. My advantages are obvious, and the fact that human beings did not notice before does not bode well for mankind. Man's invention of the wheel is nothing but centuries of lack of discovery of the circle.
I have no idea what took them so long.

Erica - that would be the very project, yup. It was a lot of fun coming up with all the different ways we could link to the assigned letters. Have a great weekend yourself :)
Interesting drabble. I love whatever symbol that is...

Clarissa - why am I not surprised that you noticed the symbol? I can't pretend to know what it means, though. If I tilt my head it looks a little like the batmobile racing towards you, but I am fairly sure that is not what it is supposed to be...
