    Now all I need is a way to get that slinky through customs and past the metal detectors.

    Cost of airfare 500$
    Taxi out to Pyrmid 50$
    Being able to finally watch your long slinky in action -Priceless

    What I love is how every time the author of that page makes a reference to his "sliiiiiinky", he changes the number of "i"'s in the word ;)

    Well, here's Webster's definition:

    "1: characterized by slinking : stealthily quiet <slinky movements>

    2: sleek and sinuous in movement or outline; especially: following the lines of the figure in a gracefully flowing manner <a slinky evening gown>"

    So, if it moves sinuously or wears an evening gown, there's no doubt.
