Bruce, I think you need to go get some air...

Heehee!  Seriously though, your site just gave me the laughs I needed at the
end of my workday (woop!  uh, not that I'd ever browse Lugnet while at
work... no, not me...)

Um, yeah, me neither . . .

I love the bathroom stall.  Classic!

The bathroom design owes a lot to Drew Dirschell:

When I got the "Troll on the Loose" set my SO complained that there was no
toilet.  I had recently seen Drew's work, so I built the stall.  Later I
incorporated it into this lab construction.

And of course your prices are very
reasonable, considering the cost of tuition these days...  ;)

In RL I'm a chemist (duh, who else would build this) and I recently had to draw
up a budget for a lab.  Believe me, these prices are reasonable.  A new NMR,
for instance, will cost you several hundred thousand, plus maintenance and
installation costs.  $10000 on the student office was pretty generous, but I
was a student not very long ago.  I splurged on the Professor's office.  He has
expensive tastes.  :)

You could branch out and include supplement sets for a whole campus.

I was talking with some other people about this and I'd love to see people in
other fields interpret their departments in Lego form.  We could have a whole
virtual Lego University.

I
envision the Frat House set including a trap door and hidden ghost figure...
(though I am not sure why)...

?  I was never in a frat, so maybe I'm missing something?

Thanks for the comments.

Bruce

(...) That would be cool! (...) I was never in a frat either. I was thinking that such things would be appropriate, however, because in TLC sets they seem to show up in odd places just so that a set can be more exciting. I figured where else on a (...)
