Arghhhh! Don't sacrifice the red Donkey!!! You can come pick up Shrek & Puss-n-Boots to autopsy. Why don't you come join us in a nice cool bowl of Corn Pops while you're at it? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Jones" <timj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Arrgh - two boxes here and both were the red LED "Donkey".
However, if we can get into them, we may be able to change the LED and find out if the battery is replaceable. I'll chop one of mine open this week.

We now own 2 pounds 7 ounces of Kellogg's Corn Pops, One Shrek over the ear _GREEN LED_ "Knight Light", and one Puss In Boots _YELLOW_LED "Knight Light". Luck of the draw I suppose; good thing I like Corn Pops!

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Tired of holding your red-lensed flashlight while looking at starcharts while at a dark site? Well, our friends at Kellogg's (the cereal folks) and Shrek III (the movie) have teamed up to provide an (unexpected) answer - the free Shrek III Knight light. Corny? You betcha. Works? Like a charm.
The unit is an over the ear Red LED that comes free inside the current Kellogg's Sugar Pops, Rice Krispies, Apple Jacks, and Fruit Loops (at least). It's just bright enough for reading and fits comfortably over either ear.
Could this be the oddest astronomical discovery of the year? Quite probably.
I've attached a pic of the unit in its protective baggy (don't know if it will get through). I'll bring mine to the meeting Friday.
