This is a much better (read faster) version of an exercise we were made to do in junior high school english. We all had to write the beginning, middle and end of three poems - about whatever we liked in whatever format we chose. Then we had to put them together with other part-poems from our classmates. First we put all the beginnings in one box, the middles in another and the ends in another and randomly withdrew one sheet of paper from each. Then we had another go where we forgot about whether each part was a beginning, a middle or an end and we selected the best partner to any given sheet. Having stuck the part-poems together, now in a whole pile of pairs we randomly paired them again.
It was a fun week of classes though I don't remember any particularly stellar results.
This is fun to do with just a few friends. Walk into a store (either serially or parallel) and mime what you want. Or when standing at a set of pedestrian lights (the ones that have a green and a red man), imitate the lights exactly - meaning your arms and legs are constantly bent at a wierd angle.
The only rules are not to talk and only laugh after you've walked away.

Does anyone know the distinction between class O and class S vehicles?
