Some guy used 38 pounds of Legos to build a 1:275 model of the Riot Bowl.

I can't find any snarky comment to make about this toy that doesn't make me out to be a total pervert, and not in a good way.

This belongs in the toybox alongside the Happy Hoppers and the Fortunate Hammer.

The elections in the Congo seem to have gone well. Bembe is claiming fraud and calling for his followers to rise up, but so far no-one seems inclined to do so. It'd be lovely if that whole half-century disaster were finally at an end. I remain convinced that most of the suffering in modern Africa can be traced back to the collapse of the Congo.

My Qat Fountain's pump finally gave up the ghost. Considering that it lasted nearly four years, and I routinely abused it by letting the sound of the impeller cavitating warn me of low water level, I really can't complain. The pump's a drop-in unit, and I'm hoping I can replace just that part.

I covet Butterscotch, yes }:=] She's incited a great deal of interest from the Little Pony community so far.

Hmmm... and to think I was having trouble deciding what to get people for the holidays.

Don't forget the vibrating Harry Potter brooms. I still wish I'd found a few of them to buy the instant that little gem hit the blogs.
