That background in the second panel's going to be tricky for the House Rules team to colour.<br><br>Sooo... this centrifuge... is it made of traditional Lego, or Technik?

Haha! Is that the thing that spins astronauts in training. The pod going around on a pole with a weight at the other end?<br><br>Haha! Only Llewelyn would build something like a centrifuge out of legos. Even if my definition of the word is incorrect, a lego centrifuge just sounds funny to say!

/me owns 0 legos :[
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...
