This is another one of "Ben" Benecke's cruel jokes. He is infamous for "recreating" Lego catalogues and fooling the good people of the Lego train community into believing they are real. He is a very, very mean person. Ben, Please stop this hoax. (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) How come everyone keeps blaming Ben!? If Brad's showing it at Brickfest, then it IS real. Ben also said that he only will do something like this on April Fools day. I don't know about you, but I'm ordering 1 #10001 and 2 #10002's. Josh (23 years ago, 15-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

So maybe I am "beating a dead horse" with a little "subtle" humor. When you have to explain a joke it is no longer "funny". Explanation to follow (if you "get the joke" please disregard). Start Explanation: I guess I just get a little tired when (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)
