After the disscussion on scorpion-towed vehicles in .adventurers and
off-topic.fun, I built one:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=1796

It is a hovering chariot, towed by two scorpions, and has place for one
passenger (in this case, the Jungle Priestess).

The chariot itself is shaped like a scorpion. On top of the tail, we
find the mighty super-powered Trans-Orange Scorpion Of Doom, which
protects the passenger, and with it's magic makes the whole thing hover.

The wings flap slowly, thus generating enough power to keep it 25 cm.
over the ground.

The chariot has smooth knobs on the bottom to make it "hover" over
carpets and floors.

The two black scorpions tow the thing with chains (although that is, as
disscussed earlier, way to heavy and power consuming) but since this is
the first scorpion towed hover chariot *ever*, I think we can live with
that ^-^.

Please LMKWYT!

(...) This has got to be one of the weirdest things I have ever seen built with bricks -- but I like it! Why didn't you just chain the scorpians via their handy top pegs though?

(...) idea! Couldn't you just poke the tails of the scorpions through the hole in the chain end stud? That way you wouldn't have to use the extra clip element to connect the chain. Or perhaps it can't be done? Fredrik (24 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

BWAHAHAHAHAH!!! I laughed until the guy in the next cubicle hid under his desk for fear of my going postal. This wouldn't be half as funny if I hadn't attempted the same thing. No Scorpion shaped chariot, though, that is the ultimate touch. :) (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build, lugnet.general)
