I just proved my rules once again. If you are pulling an order and a lot is missing
and you’ve spent 20 minutes looking around and trying to figure out where it
could be, it is time to check again where it was supposed to be. Legos tend to
double back while you are looking for them.

LOL. Whenever you lose and then find something, it's always in the last place
you looked (which is also generally the first place you looked, but missed it!)

LEGO parts have a (generally not discussed) attribute that allows them to adjust
transparency … If they don’t want to be seen, they just crank it down to 0%.
Happens all the time.

Hmm, 0% transparency = 100% opaque, no?

Only in parts of the northern hemisphere, it is opposite in Florida and the southern
hemisphere.

I've heard that this is how Lego makes transparent parts, they have a way
of forcing them to a specific transparency/opacity and then, depending if they
want clear, frosted, or sparkle, they blast them with different non-ionizing
radiation to stop the ability to change. This of course does not explain how
transparent parts go missing.

Hmm, couldn’t they just change the wind?  I heard that it fixed funny faces.

I still blame Small concentrated Low power Black Holes or Dimensional Portals.
They are very plentiful especially under my desk, and LEGO will drop into one
and pop out somewhere else.
