(...) Bryan- Well, now that the secret's out (see earlier post in this thread), I haven't heard any "Dang, I shoulda say that!" responses. Granted, I wasn't trying to give it away at first, but the 13 and the star count made it easy. Thanks to (...) (19 years ago, 23-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)

(...) Well the US flag has 5 groups of 6 and 4 groups of 5 (stars that is) But you haven't mentioned any red yet. Is it two flags, with the yellow for flames of some sort? dave (19 years ago, 23-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)

(...) Ted, I would love to see some pics of your mosaic. I am toying with the idea of making one for my kids school, (URL) logo is pretty colorful, and I think it would be cool, in about 320x120 resolution (7x3 48x48 baseplates). dave (19 years ago, 23-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, lugnet.build.mosaic, FTX)

(...) Paul- There's a lot of 13s out there: KCOP, Apollo XIII, triskadeckaphobia, 13 Days (the Cuban missile crisis movie). Answer: No. Extended answer: It's nothing commercial. -Ted (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)

(...) Hmmm... 13 = 12 Apostles + Christ, Yellow would be bread held up,... I would say diorama of the Last Supper, but you said no animals. SO.... KCOP (or UPN-13) logo??? (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)

(...) Giant minifig? A couple of circular cross-sections (head, hips, arms) but not overall round... Top point in yellow plates could be hair or upraised hand... Yellow = hands, head green, blue & white could be torso, legs, arms in any order... (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)
