Subject: pretzeled, potato-chipped, and tacoed rims
The Saturday WSJ mentioned this furniture.

It's a table top that stands--

That is, it hangs--

Er, there are no spokes or even hubs on the two support rims, which
seem to be suffering severe lateral loads:

Maybe the table will support only light loads, such as bowls of
pretzels, potato chips, and taco shells?

:-)

Cheers,

A collapsed wheel is "pringled" in the UK, because we don't have a large
Mexican or German community, and potato chips ("crisps") aren't the
perfect b0rked-wheel shape of that famous moustachioed,
reformed-potato-snack-in-a-tube.

Dear Zog,

So after a crash, you guys have prang-pringled wheels?
