    This Is Addicting

    A very clever time-waster.

      That's what I've been (addicted) since august (http://www.bt3central.com/showthread.php?t=40477), and have got many in my circle hooked too.

      But there's some level of mental application needed, so maybe not too bad.
      It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

          Pretty cool. Just what I need... another time waster. Of course, if it keeps me outta the shop while I'm covalescing LOML will be happy! Me too, in the long run.

              I was also hooked into this some time ago. It gets terribly addictive.

                  That one is cool. I ran through all of them in August. Too cheap to buy in for the higher levels.

                                      I'm afraid to even click the link lest I wake up on Monday morning wondering where my weekend went...

                                              I can see what you mean that you are stuck on tube. the best that I can concoct is a platform at the very bottom of the thing, but that get's knocked out pretty quickly

                                                          You have to get just the right spacing on the wheels. Otherwise, it either gets stuck or it falls through. It helps if you zoom in.
