thanks to Magnus..I got it too, the confetti was misleading for me though as were the wheaties..I saw this at an international language school where it should not have been aired in class. Martin |

think about what the large shredded wheat biscuits look like when you cut into the center of them...the strands of broken wheat, stand up, going every which way it is an overly simplistic way, perhaps, of describing the scene, but could it be an apt description...the lives and the structures were greatly insulted and torn asunder like shredded steel and paper being turned to no more than dust and confetti confetti is usually a celebration...the horrid irony of what all was transformed into Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
