I definitely have to agree with this. I usually do my building at a desk or
table and my bricks decide to fall just underneath the center of the chair.
That one spot that you (or I, at least) can't reach without either getting out
of your chair, or leaning so far that you risk falling over. Also, if I drop
one without realizing it, I have my own underground railroad -- my cat. She's
managed to scatter lost pieces to the four corners (or more, depending on the
room) of my house.

I suspect that there is a place between the floor of my apartment and the
ceiling of the apartment below, where errant LEGO, cigarette lighters,
paperclips, computer case screws and jumper shunts congregate to have parties
and laugh at us. The cats know where these parties are held, but are too large
to fit in to the holes. When your cat is staring off into space, it's actually
listening to the various items laughing at the humans. This is why cats have
no respect for people; their tiny little kitty-minds have been poisoned from
overhearing lost items bad mouth us all their lives.
