Lost & Found - A Foamcore Glider

With its packaging giving a short history lesson on the glider I recently found this glider unassembled. I fits in my palm with room to spare.

It is colorful, lite weight - made of foamcore, small, and yes it can fly. It flys very well and I really need to give it a try out of doors. There is a number five on its tail, indicating there are five different models to collect. THe packaging says the same. It looks like Kids meal premium.

Remades are Made Impossible

"A Remade with limbs becoming pistons and jackhammer, where he becomes deafened through his own labors. One was a man whose arms were replaced with the outsized spalyed claws of a mole."

Iron Council, China Miéville1


1. Iron Council (2004) is a weird fantasy novel by China Miéville, his third in the Bas-Lag universe.

Remades are Always Varied

"The Remades are always varied. Their bodies made impossible. On the roadbed there is a man whose front pulsates with scrany arms, each from a corpse or an ambulation. Chained to him a taller man, his face stotic. A fox stitched embedded in his chest from where it snarls and bites at him, keeping the man in permanent terror.

Here a crawling man spiral-shelled in iron and venting smoke. Here a woman working. There are plenty of woman Remades working amoung the others. A woman became a guttered pillar, with her organic parts like a after thoughts. A man, or is it a woman? Whose flesh moves with the tides, with eructations like an octopus. People with their face relocated, bodies made of iron and rubber cables, and steam-engine arms, and animal arms, and arms that are body length pistons that reach out below their waists."
