Mail Something Amazing by Keight Dee

November 21st, 2007 9:07 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Find something that amuses you to no end and mail it off to a friend that you haven’t spoken to in ages. You must use the United States Postal Service

I constructed an origami crane army of 25 and mailed them to an interweb friend in Chicag0. She is compiling 1000 paper cranes from other members of the Decemberists' D-luxe Message Board to mail to the mysterious, sick Decemberist in Portland. (If you are not aware, they cancelled their European and American tours for undisclosed reasons :[ )

This happened in Perplexcity too, is there some kind of tradition about sending cranes?
(once again, I refuse to look up on wiki something I think a real person can tell me)

1000 Cranes

I believe that there is a Japanese legend, that whomever makes 1000 paper cranes is granted a wish? I believe there was a famous girl with cancer who was making many cranes, but did not quite make it to 1000 before passing away; following this, people from all over made paper cranes and sent them to the hospital.

Sadako Sasaki was her name, says the internet. It also suggests that she did make over 1000 cranes.

Paper cranes for the creators of The Crane Wife. It amuses me enough to vote.
Also, I believe Sadako only made it to around 600 cranes, while the rest of the thousand were completed after her death by friends and family.
