    (The wise men of modern thought) adore a god made of putty or of wax - plastic, effeminate, molluscous, with no masculine faculty about him, and no quality that entitles him to the respect of just and honest men, for a being who cannot be angry at wrongdoing is destitute of one of the essential virtues, and a moral Ruler who is not angry with the wicked, and who refuses to punish crime, is not divine. ---Spurgeon

    You'd think, but at some point in time the "trap" should have filled up and wiped out the family. I prefer the term condensate maze. It has a couple extra turns but there's still an exit.

    Exactly! They should put a tap on the bottom, then they'll have their own "natural" spring that they can drink from.
