Someone else got the bright idea to take 2 of them and adhere them to the underside of the table. We checked them pretty regularly and they stayed there. We would forget for a few days, then weeks, then months, until someone would say: "Hey! How are the 'Space Bricks' doing?"

This lasted from Fall of 1984 through the end of Spring 1985. I think they were gone, or at least the table was moved, by the fall of 1985. Maybe they are still there...
