Happy birthday you old fart! Now if truth be know I think we'd find you a bit younger. Somewhere near the 26-32 range I am guessing. But if you must not tell we shall not press you. I hope you get that new walker, some more adult diapers and a package of denture cleaner! :oD ;)

Okay, I think I am beginning to see the pieces fall into place. Since, no one else cares to make a guess at the symbols I will. I know little about egyptian hieroglyphics but my thought is that the lion we all thought meant 'L' actually in an 'N'. The word we want is the word 'COIN'. Like the coin xwingyoda found in the couch cushions. It is a British coin from around the time the Barbep sank. The Barbep which was rumored to be filled with gold and later was discovered empty is sunk off the coast near this mansion. My thought is that Crowley and someone else found this ship and removed the gold from it. The gold was hidden away in the deepest part of the mansion which must be beyond the gate in the tunnel. Crowley used the light in the tower to get the treasure to shore and has hidden it. I also think that the coin we found is just one of many. One chest full of such coins would be worth over twenty million dollars and as such that is more than what many have been killed for. Does the coin hold any information that can help us? Can we look at the coin again to see if we missed anything on it? Even if the treasure is down there I think we must find the murderer and bring them to justice before we try to get it. I say we begin the search of the house anew and go back to the entrance hall to start there and search everything until we solve this mystery.

40% discount on everything in PaB? If so I am very jealous. Wish I was near Billund.

I really like to debate so this thread is hard for me to keep out of. I will say that many things have an effect on life as a person grows older. Each stage of development can and will change how a person grows and the way their mind develops. Many things can and do effect children. I agree completely that it is the parents responsibility to raise their child and teach them the things they need to know. Unfortunately, this is not the case in all houses and with each passing year it becomes a bigger concern. I merely used the point of people and places to make a point and I understand the stories and myth that do the same. I am sure some of what is in such stories was based on an actual event. The comparing the bible to them though is poor indeed as there are no other "histories" that compare to the complexity or accuacy the bible does. Again I don't want to go to far off on the non-LEGO issue in this forum. Perhaps in chat sometime. Danger for children is often hard to see until they have grown up. Children who are taught to hunt when young and to properly handle a firearm rarely ever have problems handling such things later in life. Children who are allowed to play with guns in real life or in games does indeed effect life actions in later developments. Television has single handedly introduced children of all ages to the most graphic and brutal humanity has to offer. Does this mean every child will become psycho-murdering-raping-monsters? Of course not but it doesn't help prevent it either. Violence is an issue. Substance abuse is an issue. Look at the day we live in. Maybe in Europe it is different but in America everything is on the rise, domestic violence, rape, theft, murder. The population continues to rise but this increase is so small compared to the increase in crime. These things have existed since way back (according to the bible since Genesis). Yet, the access to the ideas and images has only in the last 50-60 years recently become widespread and easily available. Pornography of all kinds is available in less than a minute with the internet. And as for the effects of such there are studies to show that violent pretty daisy is linked with murder, torture and rape. Nearly all serial killers have problems with pretty daisy. To say that this wouldn't effect the younger children or even the younger members of this site would be to close an eye and pretend you don't notice. Some people can handle the rougher stuff in life others can get destroyed by it. As to nudity specifically though, if you mean every day common person non-sexual nudity then I can see (though I don't agree with) your point. Yet I think we can all agree that this is not how nudity is displayed. In advertisements, pornography, sometimes art or on TV, nudity is almost completely based on sexual stimulation of some kind or worse on violence, rape and mutliation. Why he does this, interest and money. He must obviously like it and he turns this into books and sells them. He has them in 6 or 7 languages and has made a decent amount doing it.. I am not that far removed from adolesence and I remember many of the things I did and the decisions I made. I can say from personal experience that many of the things listed in my previous and current post not only changed the person I was becoming but also effected the decisions I made. These things are not just potentally harmful. They are harmful. It is not until recently that I have discovered the stupidity of some of the things I was doing. Our culture* is saturated with violence, sex, addictions and a me/myself/I attitude. I want LEGO to be kept out of all that and allow it to be safe for children. A refuge if you will from the video games, television, radio and the world in general. There is enough gabage out there for them to get into, let LEGO be just an imagination/learning toy. *at least in Germany and the US I can say this first hand, but I suspect elsewhere if not everywhere that a person doesn't have to scrape together enough to eat for the day

Well as this is a site about LEGO and the people who enjoy such, I will not go into the many varied and often tangled debates that people so often do regarding religion, politics, and sex/love. Those things belong to other websites so i will try to leave them there. What I will say is that the bible we have today may possibly be corrupted. It is not in whole corrupt but because the two of the three powerful early Christian centers, Alexandria and Jerusalem, were destroyed and only Rome was able withstand the Muslims if anything has corrupted the bible it was those in Rome at a later date. To say the bible is not a historical document it to prove little study of it and of the history of that time and in that region. Numerous locations and names of cultures described in the bible were at one time there and in the very place the bible records. But to avoid be so far off topic I will set this down here and conclude with the religious portion of this message. The bible is historical, was written/translated by men, and is nearly the same as it has been since 300 AD. Whether you believe in angels/demons or the supernatural at all, much of what is recorded is accurate history (as accurate as we have). If only Rome would open up the vaults to historians, then we could see the truth of all of it. To the point of why I have a problem with TBT. Yes, if I ruled the world his site would be taken down. I don't and it remains. I don't like the site but that is not the problem. You see, I don't go to his site anymore. I don't want to. But of the millions of children with internet access they don't know what it holds. And to say that it is properly labeled with warnings means nothing if not makes it worse. What child does not try and get away with doing things they shouldn't? If they are told no, or you can't this often makes them try all the harder to do something. So by having warnings I can't see how a child wouldn't go and look at the site. The thought of seeing nudity or violence to a child who normally would not be allowed to, can be enough incentive for them to read all of this. If this was in cartoon I would have the same problem. It is that these mediums are generally for children. LEGO, toys, cartoons these are the tools people use to get a childs attention. They can learn better with the aid of these things. And yet with the false perceptions and exagerated stories depicted as graphically as possible within LEGO this garbage can be spoon feed to children. The fact that he does this without concern of mental development of young children is cruel. There is a reason you don't allow 5 year old children to smoke, drink alcohol, gamble, drive, sword fight, join the military or buy pornography. These things that so many people enjoy are extremely hazardous for children (well most don't enjoy the military). Most of them are hazerdous for adults. Yet, should we also expose these things just so they can know about them. Or use the excuse , they well eventually learn. I think not. These thing can destroy the normal function of young mind and cause severe future consequences. Children who get involved in doing these things before they can understand and handle them is like handing a child a automatic weapon and telling them go have fun. If Brendan wants to make these type of stories than by all means let him do so. Have him place an age verification page on his site to prevent younger children from looking at this. Or better yet have him illustrate the stories with something non-LEGO/ non-childs toy. LEGO is for creative building and education. LEGO is not for promoting death, rape, torture, hate, sex, and low brow humor.

I wasn't serious. If you were in the US military they might really come after you. But they wouldn't really come after you. I was just saying you should be nicer to people you don't know and have never met. Especially if all you know about the person comes from people trying to find anything to help make some money or get some ratings. I have found that if you talk bad about people, people talk bad about you. So it is better not to. Joking can be okay if it isn't taken to far.

It is like any other media outlet, biased. He does what he does to get some sort of reaction out of people. I find his works ranking up with the LEGO nazi death camp, the LEGO torture site, the LEGO pretty daisy stuff, anything bonktron or bonktron inspired, and the entire Megabloks website. It is crap. He has excellent building techniques. He uses a great camera angles and has good lighting. Yet, for all that I find the "accurate" depictions of the bible twisted, grotesque, and vulgar. Besides all that he can't even paint the picture properly. The bible is a historical account of what the Jewish nation believed to be true and was recorded to preserve information. Do we really need to see pictures of gang rape? Do we need to see pictures of crucifiction, stonings, or something like genocide? I don't think so. What is worse is that he uses a childrens plastic building toys to do so. How many 7 year-olds have stumbled onto his site and seen this kind of adult stuff. I think we need to see this kind of stuff like we need to walk in on our parents having sex. Point is we don't. If this is the kind of stuff we need to see why doesn't someone start up a WW2 page and depict the body ovens and the prisons and the trenches with someones ancestor or relative crawling through human waste with only one leg to try and escape his enemies. Or perhaps a US themed massacre sets where trained military men shoot hundreds of innocent men because they wanted land and goods. Or perhaps a man with spurting blood because he has been scapled, tied up and dragged by a horse. This guy makes me angry that he takes some sort of joy in showcasing humanities worst behavior and parades it on a website that looks like it was made for children. What makes it better is that he only illustrates parts of each story so he can make some point with it and his points are always the worst humanity has to offer. So, as to my opinion, Brendan is not funny, witty, thought provoking, or even entertaining for me. I am sorry he was able to sell that book and that he has so much support.

I did say though ;)

The Oregon quarter has a picture of crater lake if that helps anything. I think it is better to know that someone is still moving about in here and they need access to the number that opens the safe in the cabinet downstairs as much as we do. All of the rooms we can get to are now examined. The chest in the attic remains locked alnog with the gate in the tunnel. The latin written was about the symbols and how that clue is a word and that it is easy and could give us some direction. I think unless someone else has an idea we should figure out the word before trying to do something else. Looking back and reviewing our clues it is obvious that the word KALI is not helpful or correct. After thinking about it I would say that A is not a letter used in the word but rather an O U W sound instead. The chair were laid out with as you enter the dining room O/U/W and I with a space and then C/K/Q then L followed by a space. Perhaps the spaces are for accent or drawing out the word in a certain place. OICL doesn't mean anything to me but mabye someone with a little more knowledge can get it figured out. It is a single word though by all the clues and simple at that. Possible words - COIL, not sure what it would refer to but it is a simple word - QUIL or Quill, haven't seen a quill anywhere, maybe the pen in the tower? - LUCI/LUKI or Lucky, again simple word but not very helpful - WILK - LOKI, refernece to the viking armor perhaps? the secret alcove letter? - CLUI - UCIL Can some one else get any thing?

Link fixed! Not sure what happened. It worked yesterday.

Welcome to the postin side of EB, where lively conversation abounds and much more is in store. Have a great time.

I say welcome darkness falls. I hope you post fun and creative MOCs and join in the monster contest (see my sig.). You will notice that topic can and do go off topic sometimes. In some cases that is fun. In others . . . well, you know.

Harry Potter Gilderoy Pirate - Brown Vest Pirate - Open Jacket Pirate Imperial Armada Ruffles I would vote for the Gilderoy myself.

Was DC ever married Pete? Is there any inscription on the band? I would like to check inside the toilet tank also if possible.

Mine also has that pink stripe (actually all 7 of mine do). Does anyone else with this set have that problem? Or is this how the set is supposed to be?

Welcome rocker Sting! Have fun posting here and get that friend of your whos into LEGO to join up to. I can't wait to see some of your MOCs.

*way off topic* -but perhaps needed- If being vocal (as much as one can in a web forum) is an insult, then yes by all means be insulted. If you are insulted, you should PM phes also as he is much more vocal than you are and becomes even more so if the topic of discussion is LEGO pirates. He will have double the reason to be offended. If you mean to threaten either me or others here you have done so and you should be warned members who don't respect other members especially those who are admins or moderators usually get terrible titles or get banned. You should be careful in what you write. You have been warned before about being bossy and demanding. Writing threats or being disrespectful to those who run any website is a good way of not being allowed there anymore. Do us all a favor keetongu and lighten up. Have fun posting and don't be bossy. Always respect your fellow posters and think twice about what you post. You will have a beeter time and be liked much more. I would hate to see anyone become another VCVC.

Remember what goes around comes around.

Hey darkness fall. Welcome to Eurobricks. The bionicle forum needed some life in it anyways. You will no don't meet our first vocal member and advocate for all things Bionicle keetongu. ;)

You are here instead of somewhere else. Have fun and build something cool we can look at.

Yes, I always assumed people would post numerous versions of the known monsters. There are only so many you know. I expected a few to be the same subject but to look completely different. Build and post. This is about having fun making monsters with a little incentive in a prize.

Trunk first. Closet next. Bathroom last. Always save the best for last. I am sure the mystery will all fall into place after we check the bathroom. *wacko* ;)

The hull sections are connected with tabs like train tracks. the tabs are on the top plate and the plastic piece on the bottom is held on by friction only. It has no stud connections at all. l l ] l l l l [ l l Something like this.

Spiffy ship. It is out of this world! Best space ship under the sun I have seen recently I would say. I like the curvy shape the ramps give. I also like that it is a medical ship instead of a fighter or war ship. Very pretty to look at. Can it swoosh? Is it stable? MOC on dude!

I think we need to put our heads together and figure out some of the clues we have already. The chairs with the symbols and the position they are in is very important. We should seek to answer why the symbols and what do they mean. Also the gate in the cellar is still locked and it needs to be checked. I think we will find the key in the safe in the cabinet. We should be searching for more clues pertaining to the combination. There is obviously something fishy about the light and it's use. Is there anywhere we haven't searched yet? What about closets or under the bed. I think we should examine the bed and bedding. Crowley was a collector, is anything in this room old or rare? The game is afoot.
