Field guide No. 230
A small rebellion
The pawns have legs now.
Wooden chess pawns climb down off the edge of a board on spindly root-like legs, onto dark green velvet. They were tired of only moving forward.

Also possible, also breaking physics
Shell serviceConches have long been held to the ear. Wiring one up is easy; floating it is the hard part.

Tiny flame, enormous gustA flame that blows a gale gets energy from nowhere. A physics outrage, a logical shrug.
