Is there anybody out there who could tell me about how to build piles of
objects?
I made a picture of a bunch of yo-yos lying on the ground, at random
positions and angles, but couldn't figure out how to create a random heap
of them. Of course I could specify the locations by hand, but I really
would prefer a way to do it by random.

thanks in advance,
Sam

Look for the scenes in scenes\advanced\blocks.
It does exactly that with a bunch of cubes.

You're being followed.  Cut out the hanky-panky for a few days.
