    Why was a small Lego in your mouth to begin with?

    Well, I have some legos on my desk for myself & others to fiddle with. I was looking at some code on my screen, mentally walking through it and absent-mindly fiddling with the legos. I had one of those 2×2 bricks pressed against my lip as I looked intently as the screen when a big yawn came over me. With the sudden inhale, the lego jumped from fingers & into my mouth.

    Luckily it all happened slow enough I could catch it with my tounge. I still felt Darwin glaring at me however.

    Hey, this is funny! Keep up the good work and say hello to Vivek Chandra for me, apparently also known as “The V Man”. We were roommates back in 2001 on the Upper West Side.

    On another note, you might want to stick to legos for children 2-3. The bricks are much bigger and accidental inhalation is nearly impossible unless your dentures are out and you’re doing impressions of Mr. Ed.
