That would liven up things, I can just imagine what he would have to say
about our resident troll. :-)

Silicon life forms do not survive in the shedde. They get baffled and
give up before we do.

Actually, I think that's probably just a coincidence.

They turn into half-empty bags of slightly-damp Blue Circle when the sun
comes up, whatever we do to entertain them meanwhile.

Besides, some of the sheds contain much more lethal, er, 'things'
and it wouldn't surprise me if a few trolls ended up as sort of
mummified carcases hidden in the furthest corners. I have sometimes
come across objects like that, and asked myself "Is this animal,
vegetable or mineral?" - to which the answer is, of course, "Most
probably, but just possibly not."

It's like the refrigerator question "What was this?" - to which
the answer is "I don't know, but it isn't any longer."
