| Hi Joshua, I've the admin right to the lugnet database, too, but have not much time to enter the missing sets/pictures to the database recently, and this seems to be continuing for a while. I have more than 600 pics (of sets already in database but (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.admin.database)

| (...) According to your arguement, any brick (not plate) can be classified as a minifig. You did not limit the definition of "torso", and all bricks can accept minifig legs. Maybe the only qualifier should be the single long neck stud. (emphasis on (...) (25 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.starwars)

No, some are 1 digit, some are 2, some are 3, and at least one is 6 digits (that's the soccer starter set: (...) (25 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.admin.database)

Do they have long neck studs, or did the torso just have a normal stud on (...) (25 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.starwars)

|
| (...) Ahh, good points. Both the "2x2 Cylinder Brick" and the "2x2 Quarter-Circle Brick" are 1 brick tall, but a cylinder (in geometry) actually has a volume and a circle (in geometry) has only circumference to speak of. This is an anomaly to be (...) (25 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.admin.database)

| In your terminology, though, I'd argue that they should not be called circles! Circles have no thickness. What will you do if TlG brings out the following bricks... a 4 radius cylinder with a 2 radius cylinder subtracted b 4 radius cylinder with a 3 (...)

I think I see what happened -- the source of the confusion is in the terminology -- and I made the same mistake that Tom made when I read his post (I just saw the words "quarter-circle" and "white" and glossed over the "4x4" part).
