Consider it the ying to this thread's yang. Hey, the Mefi Swap mix I just sent out was titled "Yin/Yang". Spooky. Also, I love the description of the curator. I wonder if she's ever met Wile E. Coyote at a convention or something? Neat post. Many thanks.

This is very neat. I wish there were more pictures. Also, the Challenger Start kits make me giggle.
