You know that cup-in-ball string game? Well imagine the cup is 10 storeys high, and imagine that instead of one ball on a string, there's hundreds.
It's pretty difficult to get all those balls in the cup in one go, so it's been there for decades waiting for the The Promised One to come and perform the Move of all Moves to put all ends to rights, and sup the milk of paradise.
