People.
The plural of person is people.
Or persons.

No, I think I have to side with Renegen on this one. The plural of "person" is "dudes" -- it's a scientific fact.
Think about it. Which sounds more awkward to you:
a) Greetings, people!
b) Sup, dudes?
I think you will agree and then there will be no more arguing because come on... We're all just dudes. There's no reason to fight about things when we're all just dudes.
The only reason you don't hear the Queen saying "dudes" is because it sounds weird with her accent, and her PR guys think it sounds too much like "dewds" -- which is a well-known euphemism for incontinence in some parts of the world.
Can't have HMQE2 making the natives laugh when she's trying to be all serious-like, can we?
That's what got Solzhenitsyn sent to the gulags. Laughing at the Queen.

You didn't have anything like COLD WAR lego, yes?
The original space LEGO were clearly all about the Cold War. What do you think the rockets WERE? Steel gray, no discernible means to carry passengers, too small for satellite deployment. THEY WERE ICBMs.

I had the original space Lego. That's why I sneer at the kids today with their ready-made guys that look like people instead of this:

Oh yes, M-Tron was the first space lego which had fluorescent parts and
MAGNETS! Who can possibly resist magnets?? GO M-TRON!
In fact, I didn't own many sets, but my friend did and we have built many pretty new things from them.

the original Space Police were the most awesome of the space LEGO. Followed closely by the Ice Force, or whatever they were called.

It is the offical proof that tests ARE getting easier and the world IS getting dumber... prebuilt lego :tsktsk: . I hope Technic is still taxing enough or our supply of future engineers is royally screwed.

Fafhrd:
The original Space Police was introduced in 1989 after the original Blacktron.
You probably mean Space Police 2, which has in 1992 followed introduction of Blacktron 2.
Oh, and Ice Planet 2002 (1993). :cool:
