  Socceroos and LEGO
 
Spotted on p.75 of yesterday's Herald-Sun: a photo of Socceroos coach Frank Farina sitting behind a LEGO Soccer field!

  News Flash - Life on Mars in short supply!
 
Last night (18 December 2002) ABC Nightly News included the usual holiday segment on frantic parents searching for the season's "hot" toys, and a LEGO item was mentioned.

  Re: Lego Drug Humor with Technic Figures
 
Interestingly enough, these images appeared in a popular Israeli magazine called "Rating". Kind of a cross between a weekly magazine and a TV guide. It appeared next to the editor's column. Supposedly, it's part of the war against drugs (????? cute (...) (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.fun, lugnet.loc.il, lugnet.mediawatch)
 
  Mindstorms on Fox Toledo
 
Last Thursday (12/12) there was a small segment about a local LEGO Mindstorms competition in NW Ohio on Fox Toledo news. I didn't catch the exact location, but the goal of the competition was to design robots to navigate an urban environment. -chris (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.mediawatch)

  Re: Have I got news for you
 
Hi. Thanks to everyone for the info. It's much appreciated. If someone could tape the show and get me a copy, that's be really great to have. I'd be happy to reimburse for all the costs involved.

  Re: Have I got news for you, repeat is on BBC 2
 
The segment was in respect to "tat" being sold by the church. The featured items were a "nodding" figure of Jesus, an inflatable cathedral and the "Brick Testament" Father, Son & Holy Ghost set. It didn't mention the web site that they were (...) (22 years ago, 14-Dec-02, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.loc.uk)
 
  Re: Have I got news for you, repeat is on BBC 2
 
(...) Correction: The repeat will be broadcasted on BBC 2 (not 1), starting at 22.30 GMT. The Brick Testament feature will be in the round where a partly obscured newspaper headline is shown to the members of the panel, and they have to guess what (...)

The Brick Testament featured on tonight's episode of the BBC program 'Have I got news for you' in the 'Odd one out' round. If you can receive BBC1 you can see the repeat on saturday night. Duq (22 years ago, 13-Dec-02, to lugnet.mediawatch)

  Re: Linux Journal Cover
 
(...) I'll ask Don Marti (the new Editor in Chief) about that tonight when I see him. He's also the president of my local LUG (that's LINUX user's group) which happens to be meeting tonight (www.svlug.org) I wonder whose LEGO minifigs those are on (...)

  Re: HP Lego on Local Fox News
 
(...) Perhaps LEGO has written off the kids that are currently in the 7-11 age range, and the juniorized sets are meant to attract those who are currently 4-6. But as those kids grow up I predict LEGO will grow up along with them. I think we're (...) (22 years ago, 4-Dec-02, to lugnet.mediawatch)

  Re: Lego In Monty Comic Strip
 
Hah! Very funny. I was reading a book called 'Sophie's World'- a novel about the history of philisophy, in which the subject recieves letters asking philisophical questions, and then following up with a lesson.
