If the Looney universe were like a game of Chrononauts, today would be a Linchpin.

I'm not saying that you were *trying* to make Treehouse dice the de facto currency of the Rabbit underground, Kristin. I'm merely saying, you just did. Henceforth, Rabbits (and maybe even some non-Rabbits) won't see a superfluous die in each additional Treehouse set, but instead a cubical carrot coin. People will buy, sell, and trade these dice. If J. Random Rabbit has (or wants) several dice, she'll find it's worth the effort to seek someone to trade with; besides, her trading partner will probably want to play the same games she likes, too, so why don't we meet at the coffeeshop and bring your pyramids too, okay? I'll bet you three dice I can beat you at Binary Homeworlds. This looks like a Good Thing, don't get me wrong. It will have unforeseen ramifications, like all good timelines, sure; but mostly good. Still, I can't help thinking: The die is cast. --Tom Phoenix
