| #1435 |  | Very few things actually get manufactured these days, because in an infinitely large Universe, such as the one in which we live, most things one
 could possibly imagine, and a lot of things one would rather not, grow
 somewhere.  A forest was discovered recently in which most of the trees grew
 ratchet screwdrivers as fruit.  The life cycle of the ratchet screwdriver is
 quite interesting.  Once picked it needs a dark dusty drawer in which it can
 lie undisturbed for years.  Then one night it suddenly hatches, discards its
 outer skin that crumbles into dust, and emerges as a totally unidentifiable
 little metal object with flanges at both ends and a sort of ridge and a hole
 for a screw.  This, when found, will get thrown away.  No one knows what the
 screwdriver is supposed to gain from this.  Nature, in her infinite wisdom,
 is presumably working on it.
