    The question was "What do you want for Christmas"

    One of the three year olds in the family was asked that question. His reply was "A dinosaur and anything else that's dangerous".

    I have three-year-old nephew who is wildly over the top whacko for dinosaurs. He knows all their scientific names, knows who eats what, and has some sort of heirarchy in which they must be displayed. Do not touch them or he just flips out!

    It's so funny it hurts.

      Clearly here he's asking for a (powermatic) PM2000 (table saw) which I think you should get him. Then you've got to keep it in working order - periodic test cuts and all. Too bad he won't be allowed to use it until he's at least 16...

          My 3yr odl wants Santa to bring her a (Winnie The) 'Pooh kit'. I have no idea what that means but she has been saying that for a week.

              A few more years, and he'll be ready. That's a pretty cool video the have about the book.

                I don't know. I bought my tablesaw when I was 13.... I think he might start sooner.

                but yeah. he is defiantly asking for a PM2000, NOT a Sawstop (not anything else dangerous) but that might mean a 14" industrial straight line rip saw, a tree mulching machine, or worse, a $100 harbor freight bargin bin table saw/miter saw.

                I'd ask him to clarify (with some suggestions, of course)

                  I would have to say that is a REAL dangerous book. There is a WHOLE TWO page section dealing with Girls, I think we are still trying to understand them.
