I gotcha. That's what I suspected but without my xray glasses handy, I
coulnd't verify... odd, though.. I had them tonight and tried to see first
hand, but only saw the wiring inside my monitor.. I think the glasses are
defective or something.

As luck would have it, I have several of those, being the victim of failed
memory and seeing the set one day. "Hey...I don't have that set. I want a
little white kitty for my town." *gets home* " Opps...Now I have a playmate
for the little white kitty I already had.... owell. One can never have too
many little white kitties in their town.."
I'll go back and try to see what you're talking about, but I think I
understand what you did and it sounds pretty nifty - as far as cutting up
Lego's go.. :) can't complain though - I've made a few modifications in my
time. The best being a 2 bladed battle hatchet for my barbarian leader to
use. :)

Indeed it is, but until I can convince my wife to let me buy more rather than
reuse what I have...............
