Sorry about that, that was definitely NOT my intention! Perhaps I can make it as
a set to go with that Polish artists sets? You know the ones I'm talking about.

I hope you washed your hands! You never know where those models have been (That
and my childhood habit of chewing on Lego bricks while building!). Seriously
though, perhaps it's just my obsessive compulsive disorder, but there isn't much
in that park I would touch without running to wash my hands after. They do wash
the models almost daily, but those kids! Once, me and another guy were in the
modelshop and saw a little girl (around 8-10) proceed to lick the entire length
of the hand rail that is in the public veiwing area of the modelshop! We weren't
sure why she did, but couldn't decide if it was grosser that she licked it and
people would touch it, or she licked it after a couple of million people touched
it! They may wash the models, but I don't think they have ever washed the
railing!
