I don't think the bad head has to really look like a clasp... it can just be an ornamental front, with the clasping hardware hidden behind it. ****************************************** Me in Rock: This Shirt Is Pants | Mr. Fusion Me in blog: izenmania |

You could have something like this, (so I can't draw, what of it?) where the left bit is a flat metal plate with a channel cut in it and ears, and the right is the face in profile, which is affixed to a second plate by a metal bar as long as the original plate is thick, and is meant to go along the channel and lock into place in the center of the left piece.
None of this is necessary though. Like Snazz said, you could just put a bat head on top of a regular clasp. ~ Gal-El You don't have to be a basketball player, you can be the president of the United States. ~ LeBron James. |

You know those lightbulbs that you don't screw in, but rather push in and give a little half-twist?

mechanical my mind is not. but the example was something I knew already.

I get what you mean about the clasp Gal, but the explanation about lightbulbs does make sense in a weird way...
But yes, Snazz is right, having the bat be ornamental, just right over the clasp would be much easier. ~Nyssa: Shapeshifter extraordinaire~ ~~~-------~~~ Cthulhu for president~Why vote for the lesser evil? -------~~----- "Of course I'm paranoid, everyone's trying to kill me!" - Weyoun ~~~------~~~ You are an Illuminator.

More controversy over boobs.
And my favourite bit:
 "The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up. Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck." - Sir Alan Lascelles, 19 February 1980 |

I just like that there is a "Busts 4 Justice" group. It sounds like a really odd superhero team.

My reaction to seeing this story was to immediatedly wonder; has Smaug seen this yet?
The thought was strong enough to break me out of my usual policy of not posting from my semi-new job. James Wandering, but not lost. "You are a Knight Errant. All of the fun of rescuing damsels, and none of the paperwork." |

I'm guessing he suffocated, although the "squelch" thought is amusing. ~ Gal-El You don't have to be a basketball player, you can be the president of the United States. ~ LeBron James. |

The article said he died instantly...i'm guessing his neck broke.

Ah, missed that line.
Not sure I trust emergency workers to make that sort of observation on the spot, though. It may have been said for the wife's benefit, or there was a miscommunication in translation. ~ Gal-El You don't have to be a basketball player, you can be the president of the United States. ~ LeBron James. |

That would have to be a very powerful couch to kill someone instantly. I always thought those fold out beds moved kinda slow to actually kill someone...
