Bottom
@Sam_A_Rama: It can also be a top. It's a versatile piece.
^A pain in the ass to categorise, so I put them all in their own tray, and it turns out there’s quite a few of them.
Is it more bottom? Or top? I guess it depends on which way you look at it.
Pretty sure it’s both a bottom and a top ; )
One could say it’s versatile.

So.... it's a middle then? If it's both a bottom and a top, it must have a middle, right?
This comes directly after the Pinata review, which was a donkey.
This part makes me think of Futurama, and how this would make an excellent chair for someone whose spine is bent backwards 90°.

This sounds like one of those optimist/pessimist, glass half full/glass half empty things…
I could go either way on this...
This and it's ilk are very good specialised pieces. Undoubtedly a weird shape, but brilliant for adding structural strength in an efficient manner, without the need for a bulky technic framework.
I use this piece for building rail cars and low-boy truck trailers, where structural strength is needed. You can’t really build the same thing out of pieces and get the same result in terms of strength. Also great for space building.
Helicopter pillar.

A step above other pieces :~P
