I want them. They're backordered. I can't have them. Cry.

Mad Scientist Blocks from Xylocopa:

"At Xylocopa, we know that the key to a successful education is to begin learning at a young age. Like many of you, we are concerned about the state of science education in the public school system, especially in the lower grades. Specifically, we have noticed that there is absolutely no training in the K-6 grades that prepares students to become mad scientists."

"...that prepares students to become mad scientists."

Don't get mad! Get published!

Adrian - the only problem with that game is you have to find other mad scientists to play it with you. Whereas with blocks, you can go off in a corner and bwahahaha to yourself in happy antisocial isolation, which is what every mad scientist wants.

One of my favorite cartoons is a Far Side cartoon about the Mad Scientists Convention, where the keynote speaker was introduced as "the man, who in 1956 coined the phrase "Fools! I'll destroy them all!"
