I must say that I get tired listening to folks whining about POOPs when

out of bricks - you can make something that in many cases looks the
same, but you can't make exactly the same thing, I'm also sure that a
BURP costs less than the 10+ bricks that it would take to replace it).

The original example for a "POOP" (_P_ieces _O_utta _O_ther _P_ieces) back
on RTL was a 1x1x5 tall brick, but IMHO, a BURP would also be an excellent
example of a POOP.

Naturally, it's true that you can't make a _hollow_ BURP out of regular
rectangular bricks stuck together, but if anyone's claiming that a solid
BURP can't be made out of 2xN's and 1xN's, I wanna see a mathematical proof
of that before I believe it.  :-)

(...) I don't think anyone said that. But I know I've had creations (not good enough to see the light of day, my scrap ratio is higher than some folks) that took advantage of the hollowness. ++Lar (24 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) I'll continue to disagree, and I'll happily take those classic space printed 1x6x5 bricks off the hands of anyone who feels POOPs should never exist. I must say that I get tired listening to folks whining about POOPs when it is regularly (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)
