A flying fairy?? An unknown beige rock?? What on earth are these things?

(I can't believe I read through that list)

I have no idea.

The Methods of Concealment are interesting too.

Those flying fairies were the "it" toy a few Christmases ago. Either the Custom agents didn't know what they were and thought they posed some kind of threat, or knew what they were and thought them counterfeit.

Or I just don't know.

I don't think those guys really need to explain themselves. Or what they do. They just do what they like

I have no idea! Who needs a fish bladder unless you're a fish?!
