No, it's a joke. Google the quote and all will be revealed. (Just didn't want you to go on believing that quote had anything to do with DNA research...)
Google, you truly are too good for this world.
LOL. OK. That didn't come out right. I was thinking about it like melting down a valuable coin collection for the metal. I guess I should have said 'destructive' and left it at that. I didn't think there were that many old 2600 carts still around. I still have my collection from when I was a kid (not that I play them...), and I can't imagine ripping them apart just for their plastic case. I do remember reading about all those ET cartridges buried in the desert somewhere... Those would make good plastic shells.
Well, on some of the other projects on his page, he links to the atariage.com store. I looked there, and they provide services to homebrew game makers. Kinda cool actually, though they say that for the shell they take an old 2600 game, clean off the label, and use the shell. That seems kinda wasteful (and destructive). I mean, it's a small plastic box. How hard could that be to manufacture??
How do we know those are really legos... Maybe he pushed a giant one of these pin art things on some poor guy at Chuck E Cheese and then took a picture of his pain....
