Pink bubbles on a Vic Viper

Bisonfuehrer‘s Vic Viper for the Missing Man display at BrickWorld 2010 has pink bubbles that remind me of a bubble eye goldfish. It’s one of the most innovative space creations I’ve seen in a while; the use of the onion dome certainly tops the chart for creativity.

Bionicle Swiss Army knife

Flickr user Robiwan Kenobi built a Swiss Army knife from Bionicle and Technic pieces. Even the folding mechanism works for all the utensils. So, is it possible to add a fold-out brick separator?
