Grab It (Not from a Cache) 7/7/2003 The Hungry Caterpillars grabbed it   Visit Log

Afraid to report that R2D2 is still with us having visited the East coast-Spurn point where he took in seawater for cold fusion reactor and enjoyed the sea air.However he is still telling us wild stories about a Death Star? so perhaps the sea air has not really helped his positronic quantum brain.He hopes to leave our care very shortly.Could not shrink enough to go into cache at spurn point as may have formed a black hole and did not like the thorns.

Retrieve It from a Cache 6/21/2003 The Hungry Caterpillars retrieved it from Abbots Bay United Kingdom   Visit Log

Found R2D2 having a good swim and not in Abbots bay.Saved from drowning by impermeable body armour which defied analysis-a secret from the far future we think .Has expressed a wish to travel to the East coast area for some bracing sea air and to replenish mini cold fusion reactor with seawater as coolant.The only problem is that R2D2 keeps waving this prong like thing at us and asking for input.Also tells us highly fanciful tales about some Luke Skywalker-we put this down to some malfunction in his positronic quantum computer brain.We hope he recovers with all that sea air and seawater.
