patgundWhen I came back from Doha, I picked up a toy in the Amsterdam airport. A Meccano "crazy inventors" set that looked steampunkish
At first I thought it was a great toy - for the 4 armed humanoids it was obviously designed for.
Then I realized the note on the box that said "8 to 88" stood not for age, but for the number of advanced engineering degrees one reqired for said model.
I finally decided that Meccano was latin for "many missing pieces" and called it for the night
