  Today, I decided to sort the newly aquired bricks. Whilst rummaging
through the tub, doing the usual 'filtering' which removes the Megablocks
and toy cars and whatnot...My hand encountered wetness...
  On closer inpection, I saw that a number of bricks had become homes for a
colony of maggots. Actual, writhing maggots, feeding off what can only be
described as 'matter'.
  Naturally, I did what any sane, rational adult would do - ran around the
house screaming 'unclean, unclean!' and going for a nice hand wash (or ten).
  After a while I managed to compose myself, and emptied the whole lot into
the sink. I feared the discovery of a dead rat, or worse...the severed hand
of a child.
  Thankfully, none of those things were found, and the hot water killed off
the maggots. Remaining traces of matter were removed, and the whole lot sits
soaking happily in the kitchen.
  A happy end to a tale of terror, I can see why Huw Millington and Tony
Preistman only play with new stuff.
  Regards,
  Pete (washing his hands an awful lot)

Surely the maggots and slime should be left on - just think, you would have
some custom coloured bricks, would never need the brick separater and best
of all.....moving models!
