   Hello everyone...

Its that time again... WHaCKaLuG dinner meeting!

Ordering food or drinks is optional, laughing and chatting are mandatory.


Hmm, I thought you guys were against authority and making rulz?!?! ;^)

Have fun and I wish I was closer to the US-Canadian border so that I could bother you guys...I mean attend your meetings!


LOL, Bob, we had a great time last night, all the members did chat and laugh, and our waitress was awesome.

Thanks to a suggestion from one member Jef, we are going to go forward with a small building challenge next meeting.

During dinner he mentioned how he had read how many bricks there were per person had they been equally divided out instead of how we hoard them all... (which after research we found was actually 62)

and I quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego ... “The Lego company estimates that in the course of five decades it has sold some 400 billion Lego blocks. Annual production of Lego bricks averages approximately 20 billion (2×1010) per year, or about 600 pieces per second. To put this in context, if all the Lego bricks ever produced were to be divided equally among a world population of six billion, each person would have 62 Lego bricks.”

and he went on to say that it would be cool to actually to a build with that exact amount of bricks as a challenge, and we couldnt agree more!

So here is your warning!!! For our next meeting... which will be Aug 16 (please note, we are going with the third Sunday of the month) we are encouraging all to bring a moc that includes EXACTLY 62 pieces. Should be fun. Cant wait to see what everyone comes up with.
