http://i.imgur.com/LYcfx.jpg -I thought this lego sculpture was pretty cool.

I recently witnessed the power that is "Lego". I was at a dinner party and the hosts had an 8 year old boy. The boys play room was adjacent to the dining room and I could see what he was playing with. We were there for 3 hours and the entire time he was playing with his Legos. He must have had thousands of them. He also had synthesizers, computers, iPads... you name it, but he preferred the Legos. I asked his dad about it and he said, "he's obsessed". He apparently uses all of his allowance to buy Legos.

If you ask me, this is a sign that his kid is likely to grow up an interesting adult.
