(...) If you were at a Coke party, for Coke drinkers, planned by Coke drinkers you would most certainly be asked to leave. Would that surprise you or would you refuse to leave and instead spout the virtues of Pepsi to people who are clearly Coke (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Interesting test criteria. I wonder how many of the large Lego sets I have built over the years would have passed this test in partially completed states. Come to think of it, there aren't many Lego sets this big, so if you extended them a (...) (21 years ago, 27-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
