There's one particular house plant that I can think of, but I can't remember its name. I think some types have leaves (...) (19 years ago, 8-Sep-05, to lugnet.build.schleim, lugnet.parts)

Examples includes both natural (biological) object such hands and cultural (technical) object such screws. A non-chiral (achiral) object can (...)

| (...) Right, I can see it now. It's the tile on top that's offset a little because the stud it's on (the transparent brick) isn't in a natural position. Of course, it would probably have been simpler to use two clear 1x2 plates with a tile on top, (...) (19 years ago, 1-Jun-05, to lugnet.build.schleim, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(I've been not precise enough) There are two tiles and if the one in the side (SNOT mounted) of the engine has no offset, the one "stud up" has a 0.4 stud offset relatively to the (...)
