> Something somebody said, in a post I read while ago, got me thinking (a dangerous situation!) and I have come up with a great idea. Why don't they make Duplo (or Leggo) Blocks that are 8 inches high, 8 inches thick and 18 inches long? Then you could use them to build real buildings. Even a duffus, like me, who is unable to even drive a straight nail, could snap together a garage in an afternoon. Then if you didn't like it, you could snap it apart and try a different design. Sure, the materials would cost a little more, but they would never need paint, they wouldn't rot, they would be light and easier to handle, and when you tore the building down, they would be reuseable.

Hahaha! I love the idea, Howard! Those buildings would truly be 'portable' buildings, unlike most 'portables' I've seen. A week ago they tore down some portables on campus, and it didn't quite make sense to me. If they're portable, why do you demolish them when you're done with them? Shouldn't you just be able to pick them up and put them somewhere else?

I also thought it was quite interesting that our three temporary buildings in high school were made by Mattel, the same manufacturer of Barbie and her gang. The buildings were only supposed to be used for about five years, but it had been 14 years when I started school there. Yes, the buildings are still in use, and I graduated four years ago.
