I had the ET set (despite not being an ET fan) and my folks still have my Transformers set, in pretty good shape too. It's based on the toy designs, so Megatron has his gun trigger in that... awkward position.
Similar to the scheme for obtaining drinking water if stuck in the desert - all you need is a warm day, green leaves, a container, a sheet of plastic (strong cling-wrap will do) and soil soft enough to dig a small hole.
Put the container in the middle of the hole and place the leaves around it - cover the hole with the plastic using some stones to secure the edges, and place another stone in the middle of the plastic above the container, creating an inversed cone.
The moisture evaporating from the leaves collects on the inside of the plastic and runs down to the point made by the stone on top, and evetually drips into your drinking container.
I wonder, would a large scale system like this work as a seaside desalination plant? How big would it have to be to produce a sufficient amount of water to top up a city's water supply?
More lists.
Less deformities and diseases.
More original and inspired flash games.
Less cats.
