      Is that a good 'uh...' or a bad 'uh...'?

      if you're going to the touble of creating a scene, think aobut the background too. Shadows can be wonderful, or they can ruin a shot.

    4. earthdog (78 months ago | reply)

      I am not sure that is a scene from that book :)

      it's a funny compo, I'm not sure about the title and I don't like the colours.
      though I find it interesting.

      "uh..." = "it's very creative, and i can't come up with anything wittier at the moment"

      It there a Charles Darwin Lego? If so what set does he come in?

    20. Kaptain Kobold (78 months ago | reply)

      Errm, no, there's no Darwin Lego that I'm aware of; I just made him from various bits in my son's Lego box.

      Definitely interesting, though I think the standard green tile would look better than the red.

      Nicely done!:)

      Well, Darwin didn't have a beard in 1859...

    33. Gee-Kay (73 months ago | reply)

      Thanks, Duncan Harris - i KNEW that this wasn't historically accurate, but just couldn't figure out what it was!!!!

      Mr. Kaptain Kobold - just WHAT are you trying to pull on us?

    34. Kaptain Kobold (73 months ago | reply)

      Curses! I have stooped almost to the level of the creationist/ID crowd in my perfidy and deception :-)

      Consider the beard to be iconic rather than real :-)

    35. Gee-Kay (73 months ago | reply)

      you mean that the real Darwin's beard wasn't detachable and plastic?

      I'm learning so much stuff today that my brain is starting to hurt!

      First a beard and then the title! surely should be "Charles Darwin:On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life : 1859" Are you trying to pervert the anti-sacred? :-)

    39. Kaptain Kobold (71 months ago | reply)

      "Are you trying to pervert the anti-sacred? :-)"

      I'm in danger of Richard Dawkins coming round to my house and breaking my windows ...

      Were did you get that lego?

    42. Kaptain Kobold (40 months ago | reply)

      It's bits from various sets. The monkey came from a Pirate set, and the beard from one of the Castle ones, for example. That's the thing with Lego; the sets are interchangeable. A bit like horizontal gene transfer :-)
