When I bought my cube, I used it as an exercise to fight back against my frugality.
But it wasn't meant to be: it was delivered to the wrong address and I received a full refund.
Then my neighbor delivered it to me.

- dhosek 5y agoTrue story: When my brother was in college, he played in the University of Illinois marching band. One year, the football team made it to the Rose Bowl. The band flew to Los Angeles to perform and do tourist stuff. On the beach, in a fit of eccentricity, he started picking up rocks from the beach and calling them seashells. He brought the rocks back to Chicago. Our grandfather picked him up at the airport and picking up his suitcase, said, "This is really heavy. What, do you have rocks in here?" "Yes," my brother answered.
