That's cool. I've seen them built in desk drawers, suit cases, coolers, styrafoam but not from legos.

To weird.

I was on that site the other day because my dad sent me this email with pictures of a lego church that used 75,000 lego pieces.

http://www.amyhughes.org/lego/church/photosfirst.html

I wanted to send him the link of the lego men repairing a hard drive and a search on googlle took me to the site fink liked to amongst others.

I was looking at the site and my 5 year old son said "oh my god what's that".

When I told hime, he said can we do that with our computer. LOL

If you get excited about Lego, you may want to visit Lego Land . I have been to Legoland Denmark several times (being a Dane originally), and its absolutely amazing. Have a look at some of these unbelievable creations

When they build one in NSW Australia, I'm there.

Maybe I should build my own.

btw abhoth 1 Fish 2 Fish, 1 Lego piece 2 Lego pieces or 1 piece of Lego 2 pieces of Lego or 1 Lego set 2 Lego sets. The s never comes near the Lego for pluralisation.

I can bastardize the english language in many a form in order to avoid using an "s" to pluralize, I do not fear the "s" though.

Fair enough.

Amercians can call it Legos and Math and the British and Australians can call it Lego and Maths.

As for the rest of the world ????
