You need a beer producer onboard as well. How about Carlsberg? "Probably the best manned space mission in the world".

They could supply the rum for the sailors 
Another good one would be Ford - 'Feel the Difference?'

There's always Stella: "Reassuringly expensive".
hmm, more like Grolsch

How about Heineken?
Refreshes the parts other beers cannot reach.

I liked the Ronseal quote in the Spec discussion - 'Mars Launcher, does exactly what it says on the tin'
Also how could we forget the best? Mars Bars . . . . .
Mars . . . . . Believe (NOT made in England)

If you were building it on the cheap, how about the Netto one
''It's Scandinavian for Value''
If you were getting help, then the Tesco's one
''Every little helps''
If you wanted to market it, then use Sainsbury's
''Try something different today''

The Spanish Facade Designer is a funny programme for the budding Architects and others.
It will help you design the entire facade of a building using text. It can be quite fun. I wonder how long it will be before one of you clever people discovers how it works!

It is indeed very cool!
And now for the geeky part...it works (I think) by converting the ascii value of the key you type (eg. a = 97) into its hexadecimal equivalent (eg. a = 61). Then it does a couple of calculations on this to get a width and floor level number, which are then used to draw the div elements on the page. The colouring is done using a random pick from a pre-defined array of colour values.
I'll now go back to my geeky corner and do some real work...

Had to have an investigative play with it after that. Space starts a new floor, number of characters in each word are the number of divisions per floor, and the proportion each division takes up depends on the character, but it's not quite acsii based, it would appear (z is greater than a, though, etc). Colour is random as per BarcelonAl.
Why did I do that?

Because it excited and interested you? I did the same thing and came to the same conclusion as mr_e

Check out this website Kidrobot as it is a total trip out. I know it is not Architecture as such but I since I am thinking about renaming this forum Design it would be fitting in great! :D
Also check out the Lego Ice Cube Tray it is not available in the UK but still a great item to own. I may order one and go to France to buy it! :D
