(...) intact (...) Thanks Lindsay, I'm sure we would love access to some of the LSAH stuff, especially service packs etc. The new Adventurers sounds interesting too. We probably wanted to ask this before, but thought it would put people out. (...) (25 years ago, 1-May-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Nah, not on a small scale. BTW, the 7190 Millennium Falcon Jr. is shipping to stores now, and *all* 2000 Adventurers sets are now available, so they're open territory. (The MF hasn't shown up around here yet though.) (...) Sigh, can't bring (...) (25 years ago, 2-May-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) I'm sort of looking towards a PhD myself, in social organisation. It would be looking at bees (or wasps or ants, but probably bees), playing around with them, and probably some (computer) modelling. "Lego, can you please sponsor my project (...) (25 years ago, 2-May-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) A bee question... Dave Australian native bees don't sting, correct ? Do they counsel their attackers or are threats to them limited ? What do they think of all the Europeans in the country ? pete.w (25 years ago, 2-May-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Note: this is totally non-Lego. That's right Pete, Aus native bees are stingless. There are two types: solitary bees (that look sort of like bumble bees), and social bees. The social stingless bees are related to the northern hemisphere (...) (25 years ago, 2-May-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

still totally off-topic (...) Maybe this could solve our Aus Lego shortage. Grind up all the ugly unsellable sets, mix them with pollen, put it out the front of some hives, harvest new bricks when the bees build their comb. Possible problems: not (...)
