Electro,

Hexadog -- sounds very cool!  I'm envisioning some sort of
double Cerberus type creature, although I suppose it's more
likely the inverse.   ;-)

Do you think Hexadog could walk across a bed of marbles?

I've been thinking what might be a neat walking contest course
is to have a picture frame like box (maybe 3' x 4') and fill it
up with marbles or wooden dowels or ball bearings so that they
are packed in, but can still roll about a little...

The challenge is simply to walk from one end to the other.

We could call it Log Rolling?  Or Marble Skating?
