It's also a shame that they've left the escape mechanism attached to the Apollo craft in the poster. The obsessive nerd in me would always be bugged by the whole thing being labelled as the craft if I had to make do with just the poster on my wall.

Still voted for the thing though, and agree with others above that the real thing (the actual rocket, not the lego) is a thing of engineering magnificence that should be seen before you die. Vivid memories of doing so when I was (much) younger, and being overawed by the sheer scale of the damn thing.

My mate used to have an internet connected microwave - it spat out so much RF crap at 2.4GHz that every time he used it the wifi went south.

I would use the joke icon, except it was real, did just that and his housemates didn't find it funny.

Likewise in Dresden, so maybe it's an eastern vs western Germany thing?

In addition I always like their habit of putting paprika on their chips, either in conjunction with a good Wurst or in fact with everything (with the curry sauce replaced by mayonnaise most times, unless the accompanying dish merited curry). Adds a certain something to the potato-based bit of the meal which goes down most satisfyingly.

Bugger, I'm hungry now and it's only 10:30am!
