Young M. lays out his fiendish plot to achieve world domination.

Several weeks after I wrote that caption, I found this in a pile of papers on Morgan's desk:

"spy team plan"

Written faintly in pencil at the very top is the world "catepult." The observant reader will note "basket with handele", "thin pice of wood," "thick pice of wood," and off in the distance, the villain, "Rachile".

I am thinking that we are going to have to either raise or lower his allowance, but I'm not yet sure which.

Don't forget Tom's carving of the key(s)... I think he had some mechanical/physical genius, too.

Though I don't recall him designing or using siege weaponry, it depends on how large Rachile is, whether this is truly inappropriate...

But now -- it lies to you to either creatively file this diagram, or to "correct" it in interesting ways -- or to join him in his efforts, so that he has the Best Catapult Evar.
