A [[wikipedia:woozle|woozle]] is a phenomenon caused by obsessively following one's own footsteps while thinking you are covering new ground. The presence of a woozle generally can be taken as an indication that you have become too focused on your immediate task and need to take a look at the larger picture in order to see where you have gone wrong.

<sinaasappeltje> But, during the hungerwinter of '44, there were no eggs, flour, sugar etc
<sinaasappeltje> so my oma had a plan to make pies anyway
<sinaasappeltje> She went, a few kilometers away ( very close to where we live now) to the slachthuis
* sinaasappeltje looks up slachthuis
<sinaasappeltje> ah!
<sinaasappeltje> 'slaughterhouse'
* sinaasappeltje goes buy more time.. :S
<TheWoozle> heh
<sinaasappeltje> okay.. So she went to the slaughterhouse, a few time a week, with her yuk and buckets
<sinaasappeltje> to get two buckets of blood
<TheWoozle> ("yuk"? as in "yucky stuff", or is that a Dutch word for something?)
<sinaasappeltje> yuk.. no, the thing on your shoulders
<sinaasappeltje> I will look for a picture
<TheWoozle> ahh. I know the thing, but can't think of the word.
<sinaasappeltje> it's definately an english word
<TheWoozle> Don't worry about it. ;-)
<TheWoozle> (I'll find the word later.)
<sinaasappeltje> http://www.art2go4.com/b_660.jpg
<sinaasappeltje> okay, so when she was home, she grabbed a spoon, and mixed the blood endlessly, so that it became stiff
<TheWoozle> Ja, that's what I was thinking of when you described it... I've never heard that word before (that I remember), but maybe I've just never known that it had a name...
<sinaasappeltje> ( because of the eggwhite in it, it became stiff)
<TheWoozle> (ahh)
<sinaasappeltje> and she putted the whipped blood in molds, and baked it in the oven
<sinaasappeltje> and so the bakery was the only bakery in the city that still sold pies, and nobody knew it was blood
<sinaasappeltje> :D cool he?
</pre>
Notes: "yuk" is "yoke"

Introduction to Woozles

A woozle is a phenomenon caused by obsessively following one's own footsteps while thinking you are covering new ground. The presence of a woozle generally can be taken as an indication that you have become too focused on your immediate task and need to take a look at the larger picture in order to see where you have gone wrong.

Introduction to This Woozle

This particular woozle can be found in various places on the internet, especially SluggySquad (where it is usually "TheWoozle", just so you don't confuse it with any other woozles) and Issuepedia (where it spends way too much time quietly editing wiki pages instead of writing blog entries like all the sensible people do).

Woozle needs to organize this page better. It should be easy, right? Right.
