No way! Singing?

You should have tried deciphering a BGB Mission in the MAWs...

Was like Helen Keller doing the "W A T E R" hand chit.

Not all the British press. Only two newspapers I know of covered it, the Telegraph who said how popular the book was, and the Daily Mail who ran under the headline "Controversial new book teaches children how to make guns out of Lego".

The same Daily Mail that's the source of all the articles about nurses turning patients beds to face Mecca, Muslims taking over cemeteries, schools stopping teaching the holocaust, etc. The Daily Mail is a scaremongering rag, which perhaps should be remembered every time one of their "stories" gets posted in the O Club.

"Lego is set to turn slightly more sinister with the launch of an unofficial book that teaches children how to make weapons out of the iconic plastic bricks," warned London's Evening Standard.

The Daily Telegraph dubbed the tome "the Anarchist Cookbook of the nursery" and stated with some authority that it was "topping the Santa Claus wish list for naughty children and their parents all over the world."

Which funnily enough is exactly what the Daily Mail warns. Not surprising as the Standard is part of the Mail group. The editor of the Standard used to work for the Mail, the papers have the same editor-in-chief.

The Telegraph is actually praising it, comparing it to "The Dangerous Book for Boys", which they have praised in the past. In today's issue they review some toys and say:

"Canny advertisers and manufacturers have clearly plugged into the prevailing zeitgeist and the back-to-the-1970s, sick-of-health-and-safety backlash that began 18 months ago with the publication of The Dangerous Book for Boys."

Our class has both RCX and NXT kits now. The advanced students use the NXTs. All of us learn to build a robot to serve a function (a battlebot and a robotic arm) and how to program it. The arm is our final, so we also have to write a research report and an owner's manual.
