The Microsoft Cube


It proved to be a lot easier to solve than it's rival cube, but often impossible to actually get it to do anything.


EDIT: Compo'd... and why not... it's a computer-game... sort of. It's tenuous I know, but my point stands!

pork chops are really nice if you spread mustard on them
and then sprinkle a generous helping of brown sugar over the top.

I like pork chops grilled

I hate it when I have arguments with my alter egos.
I never win, even when I know I'm right, because I always have to have the last word.

Not really...
