Hey Joseph,  Congratulations!!!

Like the late pop artist Andy Warhol once said, "everyone is famous for 15
minutes".

Maybe you've still got another 13 minutes to go!

I had a coworker tell me that she heard something on her radio this morning

making purchases for themselves (I'm quite curious where the info came from).

Just a footnote to this little incident.  The information came from an
interview I did with a reporter in Denmark for the Bloomberg Newsgroup (like
Associated Press but on a smaller, growing scale) about two months ago.  It was
originally for an article about the growth and current status of the Lego Group
(since Bloomberg is mainly interested in business news).

I had totally forgotten about the interview but I guess the article got
published in a magazine and could still be picked up by newspapers or radios
since it got put on the newsline.  A photographer came over to my house last
night and took some pictures of me and some assembled Lego models (it was very
last minute so all I had was a couple of Rock Raiders models and a Paradisa set
my daughter got for her birthday, #@!*&!).

Anyway, I have no way of knowing where any other related articles may end up.
If anyone hears anything about this deranged father-of-four legomaniac, please
let me know.  (Hey, now I have a claim to Lego fame for my rollcall!)

Thanks.
