That's pretty cool looking, indeed. Looks kind of like Stairway to Heaven. :D

Linked in the comments on the page: Lemmings invade Helsinki University!

"About half-a-year ago, they did something cool with lemmings within the Computer Science department of Helsinki University of Technology.

Basically, our lovely geeky-knitting club made around 200 knitted lemmings and placed them in various places around the building the day before our new class of freshmen arrived.

Think of dozens of lemmings tied to stair-handles with dozens of new students marching towards their first orientation classes! Dozens of parachuting lemmings hanged down from the ceiling and dozens of lemmings climbing around the trees within the CS-building."

That is pretty neat I have to say. :thumbsup: Lemmings does seem to be popular with university computer science people, I guess no surprise there.  I could swear I remember seeing on the web someone's thesis (I forgot exactly what it was, I think something like machine learning related to automatic discovery of rules in a game) using Lemmings as a major topic of discussion.

IIRC this was mentioned on the old forum at some point.

Haha, that's nifty. With enough people, I'd sure do it. :P

Reminds me of some pictures that are on Steve Hammond's blog: http://www.dmadesign.net/

Yes, I would. In fact, I almost did so at an event last year, and had the costume ready to go and everything, but had to abort at the very last minute, because it proved to be a little too hot to safely wear - don't use fleece for the shirt/robe, whatever you do! I almost passed out before I even got out of my hotel room. :scared: Needless to say, I ditched the outfit immediately, and no passing out was done by me. :P
