Bad luck strikes Kogasa again

Young Kogasa with really small umbrella!
What did the black umbrella do to break the light though?

The cork shot up when the champagne was opened.

...Champagne for a kid's birthday?

Champagne cork flew to the florescent light on top and broke it.

Actually they should be glad no shard fell on top of them. Huge luck in an unlucky situation, I must say. And the glass ended up decorating the cake (making it inedible) too.

I thought that was a skylight, until I realized it was one of those round fluorescent tubes.
The cake is still edible, though, with a bit a caution, once the shards are picked off. Nomming on broken glass is not a pleasant thing, in my experience...

So we meet again Dr. Clarke.

There'll still be a lot of dust and... other foreign substances on the cake from that fluroscent tube though.

Might be Cider, or another non-alcoholic variety.

No... it's for Christmas.

And not just the cake, but the rest of the Christmas dinner.

And they'll be trying to remove all the shards in the dark, or with improvised lighting.

I'm also not sure if restaurants will have any available seats on such short notice around Christmas, which makes the whole thing quite a bit more depressing to think about.

Sorry for the ignorance, but who is this Dr. Clarke character?

I managed to nom on broken glass when I broke some jar half asleep before breakfast, and one piece looked like some bread the way it caught the light. So, being the smart guy I am, I picked it up, bit down, and was rewarded with an unhealthy sounding crunch...
I don't wish that realization to anyone. :)

The insidious thing about broken glass is that it's clear. You can't really be sure you got all of it off the food without touching it.

It still catches the light, and glints. Problem is, Kogasa-dad just managed to kill the light.
As for touching it, unless I grip it tight, my skin easily withstands the edge of most everyday glass.

As others pointed out, they should be more concerned about the mercury vapor used to fill the tubes, the phosphor coating on the inside, and whatnot...

Maybe touching it won't hurt your hand directly, but my point was that you'd have to run your hand over every exposed inch of the food to be sure there wasn't glass, which might cause problems for a frosted cake, let alone anything else they were eating. Something like rice, beans, or soup would also be problematic.

Personally I wouldn't chance it, shame to waste all that food though but I rather waste it then risk chumping on glass

You can cut off all the edges and top so you still have the inside of the cake!

Are you sure your name is Mizuki Hitoshi and not Ayasaki Hayate, Kogauthor?

Personally, from experience, I do not advise you eat food that may have plate shards or glass shards in them. It took me 3 hours with a pair of forceps to remove an enlodged shard from the inside of my cheek.

Aww, kogauthor-chan....

And by the way, that cake, throw it, I've experienced it once and it's scary... It's stuck between my tooth....

At least his parents had the decency to make/buy a birthday cake for him.

Hayate got a biscuit...for his birthday...on a toothpick

It was a biscuit with a candle on it. That image made me laugh but also depressed.

All you need to know about his is that he made the very stupid decision of saying no to a CIA operative during the Cold War while he was on a time limit and just leave it at that.
