One of the first gifts Shelly ever bought me were some magnets. They were for stress relief. I ran across a set today at Toys 'R' Us at 80 percent off. So I tried to build a multi-level Thing, but didn't do so well. The slightest movement and it all comes crumbing together. I am, however, bouncing around some ideas to use these bits as the basis of a game. I'll let you know on Wednesday.
