Wow. Sometimes reality is even more impressive than our imaginations.

A Little Bit of Magic
This is a 6-inch tall door at the bottom of a tree at Lake Harriet in Minneapolis. People of all ages leave around 1500 notes behind the door every year, and every single one of them is answered. Each reply ends with, “I believe in you.” No one has seen the elf, but he’s known as “Mr. Little Guy”

Apparently I need more scoundrels in my life… oof.
Is that… Argh, I can’t remember the actresses name, but she played Stupid Tall Hot Girl on the Guild? Riley? Michelle…. something. Michelle Boyd! I’m pretty sure that’s her.

Science.
(Plus women are shorter/more compact, on average, and therefore can fit and maneuver in smaller cockpits…(although technically they won’t be cockpits anymore.))
