This is another one of "Ben" Benecke's cruel jokes. He is infamous for
"recreating" Lego catalogues and fooling the good people of the Lego train
community into believing they are real. He is a very, very mean person.
Ben,
Please stop this hoax. People are going to get hurt. This is no longer
funny. You are a very sick man!!! This is worse than yelling "fire" in a
crowded movie theater!
All,
Apparently "old Ben" subscribes to the theory: "If you are going to tell a
lie, tell a big one; and keep repeating it - people will believe you if you
tell it often enough."
Never again!
Play well,
-BrewB ;{>

| (...) Get a grip. Brad Justus is a real person. He told over 100 other real people that this was going to be happening, we all saw and heard it. Ben was nowhere near Washington DC at the time. (23 years ago, 15-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) How come everyone keeps blaming Ben!? If Brad's showing it at Brickfest, then it IS real. Ben also said that he only will do something like this on April Fools day. I don't know about you, but I'm ordering 1 #10001 and 2 #10002's. Josh (23 years ago, 15-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)
