    Larry, I was intrigued with the extra r at the end of your file and the previous hint for November's challenge.
    I zoomed into the line and sliced it open and inside I found the following:

    I can't. Would that be what is referred to as an Easter Egg? Or in this case a Christmas Egg?

    Larry, just what can you do with a straight line with curved ends?

    At last.
    Something that can't be made into a snake.
    (I'm not throwing out a challenge here, by the way!)

    The lines are wider, longer, but, definitely lines.

    Way to go Rik. You finally saw something that wasn't a snake. However it is such a short line that I bet someone could make a snake or a spider if he or she had a mind to, but I'll settle for your column. I have no idea yet what I might do with this line, cause I'm still trying to get the one done from last month. I had an idea but kept going at it wrong and it didn't work out, so I have another idea that seems to express what I want. I might even submit that one in the Xara Art Gallery, we'll see.

    No Larry, your not dense, just my obscure thinking. Your challenge this month was a very boring straight line which bought to mind "The Thin Red Line". An expression very well used in the UK to signify a thin line of soldiers who hold a defensive line against greater odds. Often changed to the "The Thin Blue Line" these days to represent the police force.
