Maximal

How many angels could dance on the head of a pin?

An interesting question and a topic for today's Mono Monday hosted by 60plus, theme maximum/maximal.

I found some pins in the kitchen drawer and some angels in Guild Chapel as we were walking to Neros for our afternoon drink.  So all I had to do............
