Stephen Orange: >sigh<  If you must know, I am inventorying my archaeological equipment.
Nicholas: Whatever for, Stephen?
Stephen Orange: >sigh<  I've been asked by the S.C.S.F.W.F. (Sasha Consortium Searching For Weird Fossils) to join them on a dig.  I leave in a week to assist in digging for as yet undiscovered marine fossils.
Nicholas: Well, I'll be blowed!

Stephen Orange: Yes, it's a highly prestigious invitation.  I -- 
Scot-Michael: How do you use this thing?!
Stephen Orange: Hey! Put that down!  You're messing up my tools!

Nicholas: Er, come along, Scot-Michael.  We'll leave you to it, Stephen.
Stephen Orange: >grumble grumble< ...have to start over...>grumble, grumble<
Nicholas: We'll give you a proper send-off before you leave.

I hope he can find some weird fossils....but then aren't all fossils a bit weird when you think about it? I have a fossil that is called a coprolite. That is indeed weird!

Poor Stephen! But that week will pass and you will find some very weird fossils.
Have fun!
