588.Your cube is your only source of earning bread
Are you okay? I sounds like you have a cube-only diet or something. I mean seriously, plastic isn't good for your health, and vinyl stickers and springs aren't either. Wait. Is there a way to make it not poisonous? HMMM. Just... you know... lay off cube chomping and do some cube comping until you make it not poisonous, OK?

731. When you solve your first cube every (June 25th) to commemorate your cubing anniversary (I've done this 4 times)
Mine's March 16th... my 1st Anniv is coming up in about a week...

oh yeah. HAPPY 11 DAY EARLY CUBING ANNIVERSARY TO ME!

however, (sadly) I can't do that because my brother "TRAGICALLY" smashed the cube on the neighbor's lawn.
