Nothing like combining passions. I found a great page that discusses both
cheese and Lego concurrently! If it's green and stuck to your Lego, it could
be snot, Playdoh, or cheese...try the taste test!

haven't found any two-headed mice, but have they investigated the area after
dark? They could discover the newest cool thing: glow in the dark pets.
