To live in a steampunk universe, it seems that one would have to be reasonably gifted in the understanding of clockwork devices and steam engines. I once bought a paper clock puzzle kit...it did not turn out well. I don't think I would survive well in this world. Although I think it would be easy to fuck it up:
That gearwork on the cat's back looks rather exposed. Considering how exact those kinds of gears have to work, one kick would knock it all to hell.
It looks like I'll be having a happy Thanksgiving after all (although it's not really celebrated in Japan)
My blueray copy of Up just came in the mail today!
