I still don't get how a stack block can fit in a boolean.
It doesn't, but all obsolete blocks turn out as stack blocks in the end. You won't be able to fit the block back in, you'll notice.

Re: Weird block!
That's not really a bump... Look at the date...
EDIT: I've just found that they are the same person...

No, actually. A block that looks like that is just to show that the block it corresponds to doesn't exist. In Scratch's programming, the definitions for older blocks still exist so you can open older Scratch projects. Old Scratch blocks still have all the normal inputs and text, they're just colored red.

Really? So how would one get such a block into a Scratch Project?

By adding their own block to Scratch (after looking in the Advanced Topics forum 
) and uploading it.

Oh! That's interesting... It wouldn't working online or offline, though, would it?

No, it wouldn't work online or offline.
Do mods have to deal with the 60 second rule?

I created A project with the square root see.

ACTUALLY Theres a secret. See you can change the color and text in a block in a secret way.

That's not it it's just obselete. And when you color it it only colors the edge and when you upload it it goes back to the default color.

It's different on the Experimental Viewer.
That's because the Experimental Viewer doesn't run off of Squeak, while Scratch 1.4 does. Because Scratch 1.4 is a virtual machine, it is possible to make new blocks in Squeak and upload a project which will work while downloaded in Scratch 1.4. However, that will no longer be possible with the next version of Scratch.
