(2 hrs, due to interruptions from Time-Warner and Voting). I have had this idea in my head for a long while...trying to imaging an unusual reason why Gnomes are typically shown wearing pointed hats. A number of reasons I went with this concept: the 'tail' in the hat allows the hat to be more animated and expressive; the hip being so high up allows for longer legs, making them faster and able to jump higher than one would expect from such a diminutive being; and a fun idea is that when they 'sit' it looks more like they are lying down, which could allow them to surprise enemies by faking unconsciousness, 'lying down' and, with the help of the tail in their hat, spring to life to attack. :-B
Makes sense to me. I love them, very clever.
