    I was reading some weekend magazine the other day out of sheer boredom and stumbled upon this little nugget. Apparently, famous author Ernest Hemmingway was challenged by some peers to write a short story that was both compelling and logical but could only contain six words. No more, no less. He left this as his piece.

    For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn.

    I think it's quite amazing personally! Can you rival it? Give it a go and let's see do we get anything really good?

    Reminded me of the opening montage in Up were they show the life story of the old man through a cinematic montage, no words needed, the imagination did the rest. They had a slight bit more to work with, the above really is genius.

    Anyway.

    No regrets my love, no regrets.

    Same man, a different cause.
