I've been wondering the same thing! But it only works when you don't see
where the falling piece landed. I've often dropped a fairly large piece
(sometimes a whole minifig or something) from my desk when "creating", and
spent up to twenty minutes searching for it! Of course, I'll drop another
piece and watch where it lands as a test, and where it hits the ground it
just sits...in plain view. Argh.
