I may have to do the key holder.

Yeah the key holder and the lamp are really cool.

[Guest TabbyBoy]

I love the wheel on the tortoise - LOL.

[Guest brickcrazyhouse]

yup turtle was my favorite. Thinking if I ever lose an arm having it replaced with one made from lego

[MartinP]

I like the turtle one too.

I can actually see myself build a computer tower case although I would have to wonder just how well it could handle the heat let alone all that vibration between the fans and hard disk drives?

I would not sit on the couch

I thought the same thing. Also, that knife holder looks like trouble. The turtle is definitely my fave.

Loved the advanced phone holder.

A side benefit to the knife holder is that you could actually clean the interior of the slots by taking it apart.

And as for the couch, the chances of losing coins or the remote under the seat cushions is nil!

Correct me if I'm wrong.... If Americans call a tortoise a turtle, what to they call a turtle?  Since the wheel is more likely to be used for a land rather than sea reptile, I reckon this is a tortoise.  It's bugging the hell out of me, please confirm.

I need to rebuild by sea wall. I've been researching materials & construction. Obviously I've overlooked some options.

Wait, there is a difference?! :O

[Anakinisvader]

I don't have a "tortoise" neck sweater. I have a "turtle" neck sweater. It's good to cover up all my hickies.

Straight from Wiki:

 

The meaning of the word turtle differs from region to region. In North America, all chelonians are commonly called turtles, including terrapins and tortoises.^[9][10] In Great Britain, the word turtle is used for sea-dwelling species, but not for tortoises.

The term tortoise usually refers to any land-dwelling, non-swimming chelonian.^[10] Most land-dwelling chelonians are in the Testudinidae family, only one of the 14 extant turtle families.^[11]

Terrapin is used to describe several species of small, edible, hard-shell turtles, typically those found in brackish waters and is an Algonquian word for turtle.

 

Plus Turtles are experts in ninjitsu and love pizza.

[TheOrcKing]

Well, that explains everything. Figures us 'Mericans call them all 'toitles'.
