The banshee’s hair pick
There’s been a Scheme sighting, and this hair pick has something to do with it:
Read the story over at Significant Objects. Then, two things:
- You can bid on the hair pick on eBay, and the proceeds go to 826 National, the writing program founded by Dave Eggers. Might be cool to hold a real-life quantum artifact in your hands…
- How am I so sure this is Scheme-related? As you’ll see, the story’s narrator doesn’t suspect it. The thing is, there’s a clue embedded in the story; almost a code, really. The first person to figure it out and post it in the comments here gets a CFRAS t-shirt (pictured here).
Check it out! Bid on the object! Crack the code!

McLean Banshee is an anagram for Annabel Scheme.
(Ed. note: Mikael’s comment redacted to white b/c he figured it out sooo fast! And most people haven’t even read the story yet. Highlight if you want to see.)(Ed. note: now un-redacted.)
