More brown 2x2 bricks than you can poke a stick at (and with all those brown
2x2's you can actually make quite a realistic stick!). And an awkwardly odd

Hmmmm.... always good to know another bit of movie trivia. My favourite bit
of trivia is the actress who played Cary Grant's mother in North by
Northwest was a year *younger* then CG.
