The quote above is from one of my NLF:s, after he saw my newly purchased 1182.

The thing he found so fun, was the fact that the building instructions
show the scorpion attached to the end of a chain, which in turn is
attached to the raft.
I had no idea why, but according to my NLF, Johnny Thunder is stupid
enough to think that the scorpion can tow his raft.
It's a very bad choice, though, considering the fact that scorpions
aren't water animals!

He also gave me an alternative use for the chain piece: To make a
"morning star" style weapon, and use it on a MindStorms robot.
(He's into destroying LEGO. He's the one who used his classic space
minifigs as shooting targets... Ouch...)

(...) Where did you buy that set? I've never seen it before. You should take his comment as an inspiration to design a scorpion-towed vehicle. The scorpion is very much neglected by animal-towed vehicle builders. But how many would you need? (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
