Surely as disabled people are part of many communited.
Why are they not represented in Lego(R)?

On the contrary, wooden legs and hook-hands abound in Pirates, while a • number
of minifig heads feature glasses.  Most minifigs don't even have noses--I'd
call that a disability!

BTW, has Lego produced a wheel chair? I seem to remember one, but would like
to find a DAT or photo of it

LEGO hasn't, but you can find a MOC wheelchair at Suz's site:

If you've never been to baseplate.com before, it's only safe to warn you that
you'll lose the afternoon looking at all of the cool stuff... ;)

Hey Todd,

   Is there some server-side way of doing a pop-up or other warning message
   before a post is confirmed?  Like, say...

         "Please double-check that your post is off-topic for
lugnet.off-topic.debate,
           and not about Lego or some other related items?"

:-)

(...) <snip> (...) ROFLOL!!!...!!! Jude (who still believes in subtlety today but chooses to ignore it for humour's sake) Is this now on or off-topic? Oh well I guess it is both since I didn't get a pop up or warning message :-) (24 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.fun, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
