Marsupials

If humans were marsupials, what would you keep in your pouch?

I would keep in it:

  • a paperback
  • my Palm Pilot, Gregorovius
  • erasers
  • pistachios
  • an emergency teabag
  • a handkerchief

The idea of having a pouch sounds whimsical and cute at first. But if you think about it too much and dwell on the practical ramifications, like hair or no hair inside, cleanliness, possible nipple positioning, sweat...It gets unappetising, and you decide you're just going to start wearing hoodies with those big pockets in the front for both hands.

UPDATE: Also a lemon, to ward off scurvy.

I find it interesting that you have given your Palm a name. I and all of my geek friends name our computers, but it seems to be a universal yet generally unspoken assumption that PDAs do not have behavior complex enough to warrant having a name. They haven't got enough personality for it, if you will. It would be like naming a wristwatch, or an anus. You use it every day, but you really wouldn't think to give it a name. Generally speaking.
