Congrats to all. My favorite is the chainmaille. If it would've been posted earlier, I bet it would've gotten at least 2nd.

I know but it's still funny because of how old it is...
I remember when I joined that the K'nex guns were a big influence on my decision.  That gun was one of the first I built haha.

The "Knex semi-automatic" was actually published in 2006, the author reposted it in 2009, look at the comments on it for evidence.

Not to be a sore loser or anything... but its not the end of the year and The Twittering Office Chair seems to be ahead of the Word Clock by about 2,000 views. I demand a recount! :-)
