A friend gave me this the other day, made by the wonderful idea-in-a-shop that is Hoxton Street Monster Supplies. It is sitting on my desk.

It is a Burning Platform in a tin, really. If only someone had given this to Nokia a couple of years ago, and they had taken the lid off, how different their fortunes might have been.

I’m going to put a couple of tins in my laptop bag. You never know when they might come in useful in a meeting.

   Perhaps Nokia could replenish their superpowers with a trip to the Brooklyn Superhero Store. Surely they could be brought back to earth with a gallon or two of GRAVITY? http://www.sampottsinc.com/pages/bssco.html
