	Thimbles and Thimble Collecting
		Thimbles were probably unnecessary before the introduction of textiles, because people wore skins joined together by thongs passed through holes punched in the leather.
		A thimble was an ideal gift for a young man to give his loved one, because it was used daily and so would remind the girl of her suitor each time she sewed.
		Thimbles are lucky; years ago it was tradition to put a miniature silver thimble into the Christmas pudding, and the finder would enjoy good fortune throughout the year.

	Dennett-Rosenthal Paper
		The thimble is in plain sight, close enough to bite you if it were a bear, and yet you are not aware of it until that distinctive "aha!" experience occurs.
		It means that he or she (or it) "tracks" a perceived mental phenomenon (such as a perception of a thimble) with some sort of feedback guided link which establishes a relationship between that mental phenomenon and some activity which is part of that observer's story.
		However, if we accept as valid Dennett's discussions of Hunt the Thimble and Piano tuning, we must also accept that there is a background to consciousness, and that what exists in that background is to some degree independent of the particular probes made by acts of intentional tracking.

		The "goose" who gets tagged becomes the "fox." A more complicated game is played with two circles, one within the other, in which the geese may turn at any intersection, and the geese are limited to one for each section of the circle.
		Children especially enjoy this game when adults, working in the room where the thimble is hidden share their secret.
		Then the group who hid the thimble sing some song and as a searcher gets nearer or further from the thimble, the music gets softer or louder.

	1-day meeting on Evidence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Many controversies over risk in the public domain, BSE and MMR vaccine are two examples, boil down to attempting to prove that something can't happen or does not exist.
		This appears to be a logical impossibility: a game of hunt the thimble in which failure to find the thimble is taken as proof of its non-existence.
		In this talk I shall discuss how the technical matter of attempting to prove nothing is happening is handled in the context of drug development, in particular in trying to show that a generic formulation is the same as an innovator drug.

	Paghat's Garden: Campanula cochleariifolia 'Bavarian Blue'
		Being so very tiny it can share ground with crocuses or miniature daffodils so that when the early or pre-spring bulbs are finished, the area will still have some leafiness & color, but never so large as to hide or obscure the smaller bulbs.
		I planted Fairy Thimbles over a dwarf iris, & if occasionally the foliage were to hump up higher than required for the sake of the earliest spring bulbs, it can be sheered even closer to the ground without afflicting its flowerful performance in summer.
		As a die-back perennial, generally it is only just getting re-started when the early bulbs are at their peak, so there is no conflict.

	BBC NEWS \| Politics \| Church Iraq statement 'welcomed'
		The foreign secretary said "active discussions" were taking place on a new UN Security Council resolution but stressed that matters were still "not finalised".

		Iraq had to cooperate fully with the inspectors, he said.

	: Britain and the UN
		The Resolution did not say that the inspectors were a new detective agency.
		The Resolution did not imply that it was impossible to go on a hunt the thimble exercise across Iraq, the size of France, with just 100 inspectors.
		And it is plain, and it was striking last week in the Security Council, that there was unanimity about this, that Iraq has not fully and actively and immediately complied with its obligations under 1441, so we are discussing the next steps to take with our partners.
