Because it, as a letter, is unappealing and seems rather phoned in. Z, honestly? Three haphazard lines? Give me a fucking break.

On Topic: I'd also suggest a windmill. Why? Because it's a mill, for the wind.
you just used it ;)
What i wonder, why do you think N is ok then?

On Topic. Build a giant creeper out of green wool and tnt, then lure as much creepers as you can to it and give them some of their own medicine
I only use 'that letter' when the word looks right with it. 'Colonise' looks perfectly fine. 'Haphasard' looks like the name of some odd reptile. 'N' is fine provided you use a bit of a curve here and there, maybe some nice flourishes and such (I'm a calligrapher).

On a less 'lettery' note, your suggestion with the giant creeper sounds pretty good. Maybe a huge model skeleton with an arrow-shooting dispenser at the end of the bow.

So you cannot add flourish to the Z? Instead of ignoring why not innovate?

Isengard. Build Isengard.
Then after you finish building Isengard build some hobbits and take them there.

EDIT: Nija'd DAMN!

basically iv recently gotten mine craft and iv gotten a good feel for the game and built a good house and can move around the world with ease. but now that my house is built I want something to work on. Im not really into the whole sculpture or statue building thing. I would like to build things im actually going to use
Pretty much the first thing I do in any new world is build a Mob Grinder Tower once I finish my first house. It's basically a tower with water channels that funnel all hostile monsters that spawn inside into a central channel that carries the monsters into a lava blade which kills them, then the drops fall into a channel underneath which funnels them into a collection point.


Just be aware, I don't think he explicitly states it but there can be NO light in the tower, so if you use torches in there to light it up, take them out before you close it up.

Also, in my trap I put a pressure plate at the end of the item channel and connect it to a redstone torch in my house with Redstone wires. That way, when an item falls on the plate, the torch in my house lights up and I know I have items to collect.

These things just make your life so much easier because once you build a few levels of the tower you will have a huge influx of Gunpowder to make TNT and that makes big projects WAY easier since you can pretty much just blow up mountains.

I was going to say to re-create Sauzer's Pyramid (Fist of the North Star reference) but an underwater city (or any underwater building) would be pretty bad ass o.o!!

Flourishes on 'that goddamned letter' typically come off looking like they're copied off of other, better letters, even when they aren't.

Still on topic! Lighthouses. When you wander off looking for some sheep, there's few things worse than getting completely lost. For added safety, set up each lighthouse as a sort of safe house, so you don't get vaporised by creepers.

Create the universe using binary code. [http://xkcd.com/505/]
This post has made my day.

Build the White-Gold Tower from Oblivon, in fact, make an Oblivion gate have it take you to the nether, and create your own realm of oblivion.

What in the hell is wrong with you? Other than the fact your not a good calligrapher.

Build millions of block people for your own block army.

Search YouTube for videos on TNT cannons. They are fucking awesome.

A giant Trollololo face would be sweet, too,

A suspended water ceiling using ladders.

Water fall walls, underwater, not allowing them to spill into the chamber. (really annoying to get right)

Lava moats are pragmatic AND pretty.

I always start with castle walls to keep out the baddies with a shelter of some sort in the middle, or build a house right into a mountain for starters. Get yourself comfortable. After that I usually build sky towers with bridges moving in a grid pattern high up in the sky so I can move across the terrain quickly without worrying about monsters at night, except maybe spiders. It gets me back and forth to seperate bases easily, especially when I decide to build on the water.

Grow a massive forest, have trees cover the entire continent. Then, build a vantage point high up enough that you can see as many trees as possible.

Then burn it...Burn it all down to the ground...

Of course, since sometimes some blocks from trees will just perpetually be on fire, eventually the whole continent will just be lit up with burning wood.

Then you will be safe, safe from the monsters forever...
