I got these mad scientist blocks from Thinkgeek.com and I have to say I'm mildly disappointed. I'm not complaining about the quality, they look awesome. But the placement of the letters is not very good for making words.

\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "

Before you ask, here is a list of the words:

\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "
A - AppendagesN - Nanotechnology
B - BioengineeringO - Organs
C - CaffeineP - Peasants (with Pitchforks)
D - DirigibleQ - Quantum physics
E - ExperimentR - Robot
F - Freeze rayS - Self-experimentation

H - HenchmenU - Underground Lair
I - InventionV - Virus
J - JargonW - Wrench
K - PotassiumX - X-Ray
L - LaserY - You, the Mad Scientist of Tomorrow
M - ManiacalZ - Zombies
\n"; echo "
\n"; echo "

Pretty cool eh? The letters on each block are:

\n"; echo "\n"; echo "

The Rant

\n"; echo "

Now here is my ranty section. Other than the obvious sticking clumps of 3 letters together, why 2 B's and N's???? And why 1 E? and why are E, R, and S on the same block??

\n"; echo "

So, since I try not to complain without offering how to fix the problem, here are my ideas.

\n"; echo "
    \n"; echo "
  1. Each letter of STARE (most common english characters) should be on a different block.
    2. \n"; echo "
  2. Split up Q and U (which they did).
    3. \n"; echo "
  3. The double letters should be from STARE. Specifically E needs to be in there (Lets go with S, T, A, and E)
    4. \n"; echo "
  4. P and H should be split, as should S and H, and T and H.
    5. \n"; echo "
  5. I and T should be split.
    6. \n"; echo "
  6. All the vowels should be split.
    7. \n"; echo "
  7. X and Y should be split up (xylophone, x-ray, xylocaine, etc)
    8. \n"; echo "
\n"; echo "

Alright, so lets try this.

\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "

It's not perfect, but definitely better. Actually, it's perfect 'cause I can spell my name!
