Agent Thoth's Personal Log

Day Nine-Hundred-Forty-Six:

The riddle of the dangling wall hanging continues to consume my young compatriot and myself. We had briefly believed we had worked out a solution, as there is a piece of furniture that provides a horizontal platform within slightly more than a DPCIL Agent’s body length from the temptation. The thought was that we could use this spot as a staging area to get close enough to wrest the object of our fascination from its perch.

Unfortunately for us, what we failed to consider is the fact that the item is flat and lays directly against the wall. In addition, the platform does not lay flush against the wall, but several inches away from it. Which means one must jump up and over to reach the mark, but also towards the wall. Therefore, any effort to pounce upon the target results in a headfirst collision with said barrier.

Thus far, despite our best efforts, neither my protégé nor I have been able to maintain enough lucidity to snag the item before we fall after bashing our faces against the wall. To make matters worse, after one or two attempts, the noise draws the attention of my hominid-servant, who does not react kindly to our efforts to disturb her hanging. The ultimate result of which is that I must admit that, at least for the time being, my efforts to increase my understanding of the environment around me have been foiled by the laws of physics.

Drat! Foiled again! ;-) You may have noticed that Agent Thoth has a new look. I hope you like his new picture as much as I do, but I'd love to hear your thoughts, either way. Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments. ;-) Happy reading, everyone!
