(...) I like it. The original thought was that before each joint there would be 1 strip or 2 1 strip means 'go left' (as left as left can be in a 3 d grid), or 2 stripes means go right (again, same). As pointed out, however, which way's left or (...) (21 years ago, 25-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Look, we've been over this before, no non Lego parts, especially not the HiTechnic Christina Aguilera module. Sheesh.
