Everyone knows that:
a) Banging your head on the corner of a table after bending down to pick up a napkin
b) Stubbing your little toe
are far worse than treading on lego
plus any man will tell you that nipping your todger in your zipper far outweighs the trivia of childbirth!
But on the original point of Lego - it does annoy me that they sell kits to make a specific things!!!
Thats what Airfix is for!!

Think of it as training for Suity's post WW3 Mad Max world.
I'd also like to add that a lego brick on a stone flagged floor is every bit as painful as a misplaced foreskin in a zip.
