This is arguably one of the coolest LEGO projects I've ever seen, anywhere. I am not at all even slightly religious, but I feel that I can appreciate the spirit of your creation. In short, you need to do more of this. (22 years ago, 4-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.arch)

Thanks, Scott. I don't really care what people say about it or me, since even those who find it as a result of some disparaging post seem to enjoy it, judging by the email I get.
