a few months back, a competition was held to design the best Dominican school desk. the winner's prize was a million pesos, and the runner up got half a million. i wondered why it was not a winner take all, since only one design was going to be used.
well, quite a few of us speculated that since school desks have been around since the days of Noah and his watercraft, there should be a raft of designs on the internet. what was there to stop some guy from purloining a design from the galleries, call it his own, and grab some coin?
seems like that is exactly what happened. problem is that it is useless, because the fabrication of that particular desk apparently necessitates a specific piece of proprietary equipment, which cannot be obtained. therefore, the design cannot be implemented. the botellas and others are currently looking at other existing designs to see if they can salvage this entire debacle.
el pais de las maravillas...whee..
