Wait, is that the girl from Cul De Sac in the upper-right corner there?

quote:

Sometime between the founding of the Order of the Elks in 1868 and the end of the 19th century, it became fashionable for members of the Benevolent Order of Elks to wear a genuine elk’s tooth. The tooth was polished and mounted in a gold casing and was commonly worn as a fob. The elk’s tooth fob became so popular that in 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt suggested that elk herds were being slaughtered to obtain their teeth to make into fobs and were in danger of disappearing. President Roosevelt appealed to the Grand Exulted Ruler, Henry Melvin, stating the wearing of the elks’ teeth by members was causing a great slaughter of elk and asked him to abolish members from wearing the teeth for decorative purposes.

In 1908, a special commission spent two weeks in elk territory talking to settlers, game wardens and hunters. They concluded that the advance of civilization was cutting the animals off from their natural grazing grounds and causing them to die out, and that killing them for their teeth had a minimal impact on the herds. Ultimately, however, the President’s recommendations were adopted and thereafter, manufacturers of fraternal fobs listed their charms as being “genuine walrus ivory teeth.”

Is this actually a problem that requires DNA Magic, or can you just...have a child that's a year ahead of where they would be?

But what was the wasp nest for, Val?

You can't just leave well enough alone, of course messing with the child's DNA even further is the correct solution to this "problem."

As for Val, the wasp nest was for paper to make the dummy.

I somehow missed that. I thought he was going to launch a wasp-filled witch at the castle.
