On 22 Oct 2002, Bateau <Its...@Not-A-Real-Address.com> bought a plush plankton doll and said: >>Fun as always, but glass is a good conductor of heat. >>That's what makes it a poor _insulator_ of heat. I like >>the new website design, btw. :) > > Funnily enough in the original story they were fur slippers. I believe the story is that when translating it from its original French, some menial translator-type person misread 'vair', fox fur, as 'verre', glass. Giving you the odd situation of glass slippers. You know, you wouldn't believe how often the chance to use my encyclopedic knowledge of mistranslations in fairy tales comes up! -- //Eurakarte Bow to the PRINCE of PLANKTON. http://www.eurakarte.com
