After much research and years of experimentation, I have come to believe
that repeated and prolonged exposure to ABS bits can actually heighten or
stimulate certain physical abilities. For instance: eyesight. I've noticed
that I can walk into any toy store or department store and, from the corner
of my eye, at great distances, I can spot the smallest red, yellow, black
and white logo with those four letters we all know and love. The box can be
backwards, upside-down, sideways, in the wrong section or even hidden behind
other toys on the bottom shelf - it doesn't matter. My eyes train right in
on it, as if I had some sort of tracking device. Clearance sets seem to have
even more of an attraction.
"Creating" with Lego also seems to render sleep as unnecessary. I have spent
many a twenty-hour shifts at my dining room table sorting and searching for
that one piece or combination of pieces that will complete my vision just
right. In the morning I am completely refreshed and ready to do it again.
Prolonged exposure also seems to allow the fingers to become elastic in
nature. When necessary, they can stretch and/or become thinner for reaching
into tight spots to retrieve or install small parts.
I've been able to document these three. Has anyone else noticed any others?
