Hi David and welcome (from a novice)! Although there's lots to do here and you should definitely jump in, did you know there is a wiki devoted exclusively to LEGO topics? There is one called BrickWiki. The MindStorms articles could use some help from a technic head such as yourself so if you have an interest (in particular a detailed article on Forth and pbForth (and their relation to ROBOFORTH) would be most welcome!) come on over. Thanks! ++Lar 21:22, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

It's a fascinating concept. I think I'll get mindstorms to work with my daughter then I'll be able to discuss it. Thanks to you, Robotics1 13:37, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Christening

On planet earth, the ceremony whereby a ship is named is called "christening," as was used in the article -- with ancient analogy to Christian Baptism but having lost absolutely all religious connotation. Here, we don't baptize bridges, but we do have an colloquialism that uses "christening" as "naming" -- it occurs in a variety of contexts and in secular newspapers and television broadcasts about inanimate objhects and ideas every day. How do they do things on your planet?HarvardOxon 18:28, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't think so. It might be true for ships in Christian nations on planet Earth. Not a ship lauched in Japan or Israel or Soudi Arabia and so on. Therefore the term is a CHristian one whereas I feel Wikipedia should be worldwide - international and non religeous. --Robotics1 18:49, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
