The arrow is not touching the blue area but is touching where you wanted it. It has to be in the blue area. Otherwise it's nonfunctional and misleading decoration. Wouldn't you agree? Otherwise, your point stands and the arrow is breathtakingly beautiful. leo

Talking about the point of arrows, ever seen an arrow lose its point? It is the saddest thing imaginable. It is sad enough for a human life to lose any point but with an arrow the pain is sharpened by orders of magnitude. Humans can go on in pointlessness. They do. But arrows? No, the point of an arrow *is* its whole point. I run a small clinic for lost and broken arrows and I know. I have personally talked to some of the saddest cases when I do my rounds. It is almost impossible to convince one that has lost its point that there is a point to going on existing. So necessary is a point to an arrow that we will transplant points that have lost their arrows from a bank of them that we have established. About this latter, btw, it is supported by donations. If I have touched your hearts, if you care at all, please send donations, $US10 upwards care of me. -- dorayme

I've sent virtual donations to "Spears in Peers" and "Arrows for Algernon". It's the very least I can do. Thank you for your good work. leo

From the Wiki: "They meet curious creatures like giant bees, a "pointed man" pointing in all directions who proclaims "A point in every direction is the same as no point at all", a man made of rock who helps Oblio see that everyone has a point (as in reason) though it might not be readily displayed."
