I hope everybody is safe…

Even in a joke,

April 1st will go down in history; it’s definitely gonna be an annual holiday for me!

Foolion- never heard of Tristan da Cunha. Then I get an alert on my phone that this place just had an earthquake. Odd to see this place twice in one day.

Cheap dimestore calculator I strapped on to the side of the Lego accelerator divided by zero and things got a little crazy, ended up losing the packet. Next time I’ll probably make it into a circle and take away the ramp.

Can you post it back to me?

I betcha it is only detectable on a particular day of the year…

Foolion blew it though :D
