the article... (why someone would have an image of a barely readable text on
their website is beyond me..maybe I'll contact the guy who runs the
site..actually do any of you have a copy of this list?) Look at all of the
Ocean themed elements. Nice bit of irony.
Imagine laying on a beach and having thousands of Lego parts just wash up.
