the innermost wee guy (onimo), Friday, 1 May 2009 13:01 (seventeen years ago)

Well techically that is an anagram of limed its, even though the its is still intact at the end, so I have to begrudgingly admit that it's sound.

I can't quite work out why though, could you explain? I've got a kind of retrospective half-arsed attempt at making it work, but really I just went with it because it's a device, and it fits.
