"A dingbat is an ornament, character or spacer used in typesetting, sometimes more formally known as a "printer's ornament" or "printer's character". The term supposedly originated as onomatopoeia in old style metal-type print shops, where extra space around text or illustrations would be filled by dinging an ornament into the space then bating tight to be ready for inking." -Wikipedia They would be great for spicing up your next essay at school.

But I'm almost positive that's what is going on in X. You perverts. Lego geometry makes it difficult to accurately show a minifig giving another minifig the Heimlich maneuver.

The cop clearly didn't practice much officer safety here- he should have been more aware of his surroundings. Too bad for him the handcuff pieces are a fairly new item... ^to be fair, the cop did just arrest the dude in J.
