1. They have begun snapping out all the parts to build his coffin.

2. I had a shelf of Tamiya models growing up. I loved tank and plane model kits, and sadly always got glue fingerprints all over transparent window pieces.

3. Everyday things are going wrong at work, I use this [Calvin and Hobbes comic](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/18/76/a7/1876a7a8090000815c695dad1223efad.jpg) to tell my co-workers what we are dealing with.

   I only bring that up because I made a very sad attempt at a Tamiya car kit and it pretty much ended like that.
