Funny thing about the flat earth conspiracies... all you have to do is work for the government to know they aren't advanced enough to pull that hoax off.

Probably, with a little time - but I only glanced at it before noticing the "cancelled" bit - I'd got "inundated" as an anagram of "untied and" and "and united", was thinking how to get "weight" related items out of that, and hadn't noticed it was nine letters, not eight yet... Blush | :O

Untied and united against weight (8)

Apologies I'm going to cancel this one, as I got the word from a TV programme, but after some googling it turns out the word is relatively new and not in all dictionaries. Will post a new one above.

Ans: Antigram - Am anagram that has an opposing meaning to the original word.

Against - Anti
Weight - Gram

Untied and United - Antigram

Accoutrements Bigfoot Action Figure[^]

A few things to consider:
1. This is not a toy -- See product package image: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91cpvJJugTL._SL1500_.jpg[^]
2. This is not a doll!! -- it's an action figure.
3. This action figure is not considered safe for use by anyone under 12. Yes, that's right even an 11 yr old should have adult supervision when using this toy. (Check the product package warnings.)

Mostly. i just finished decorating my modest little tree- It's the first one in who knows how many years. Only the tip is a little bare. That's a job for the 3D printer!

This is what I found online:
- Tradidional pointy tips. Nah. Could have bought that if I wanted one.
- Angels, yawn.
- Stars, in all sizes and shapes. Boring, except of course the eight sided star of chaos.
- A mostly naked Santa (mind bleach, quick!)
- A Dalek
- How about this one?[^]

Edit: Just downloaded it and started printing the lower half. Dang, that thing is a big as a basketball. so I scaled it down to 20%. If all goes well, I can start printig the upper half before I go to work and paint it in the evening.

The thin arms and legs will be a problem, otherwise I would print one. I already have Bob printed out (2D) for a little trip, but that will have to wait until spring and until I have a new camera to document the event.

If I was making a bob I would print the head/body, hands and feet separately and then either print the legs and arms or just use wire. Glue can then be used to stick the bits together.

Great! Now send me the 3D model and I start printing when I come home.
