Imagine you're a bear, foraging in the woods and up walks (lumbers?!) THAT! Of course you probably would have heard it a mile away and high-tailed (ok, stubby-tailed) it outta there.
If you did manage to 'sneak' up on a bear in that thing with thoughts of wrestle that's got to be one dumbass (or deaf) bear.
Engineers love to tinker, find out how it all works, rip it apart and put it back together. Whether it's mechanical, chemical, or physical we want to understand. The only expression of the Renaissance Man left...
I've found that buying a set of just simple blocks is difficult if not impossible! When I say simple bricks, I mean the 2x4, 2x10, etc. not the 1x4, 1x8, etc that now come in the "buckets" that are available at .
I had the luck of growing up near a Lego plant (then manufactured by Samsonite here in the US) and employees could by large bags of the bricks that were swept up from the floor of the plant for a dollar a bag. The bricks were dirty, many were misshaped. We had a Christmas tradition of dumping the newly delivered bags in the sink and washing each brick and sorting out the melted ones. I didn't knwo 'sets' were available until I'd moved on to the next stage: girls.
Can't get a bag of bricks like that -- just those useless 1x pieces.
1. Microbeskis
2. Space Viruskis
3. Hundreds of thousands of itty-bitty flying debriskis.
4. Thousands of pieces of deadly, smouldering projectileuskas

another EULA alteration (oh, and yet another critical patch needed!)...
which came first? the decision to change the EULA or the discovery of the hole?
