When you find yourself in the company of a halfling and an ill-tempered
Dragon, remember, you do not have to outrun the Dragon......you just have to outrun the halfling.

Legos is an abbreviation of two words, and comes from the Netherlands I believe.

Until the Lego Darth Vader lays waste to the kingdom with his Lego Dragon.

They missed a step in the lego process- Overpricing

Does it really take that much heat to mold them? I always wanted to make my own for cheaper, but I guess the equipment that would take would be too much money to start with... Now, If I was planning on building a house out of said bricks, that would be a viable option... If I were rediculously rich...

The obvious answer would seem to be Legoland. And after watching the process, I think I'm right.

LEGO is an engineering system disguised as a toy for kids.

ABS plastic is quite tough and durable. If you make shurikens out of LEGO and throw them at people, they will be hurt (but not too much).

In all the LEGO sets I have ever bought (rough estimate ... 200+), not one have ever had missing parts or instructions.

That is Quality Assurance to the utmost. Wait, I love LEGO, I guess I am biased. :)

Thank you for sharing the URL!

Yes, Picture picture.

Did you all know that legos were originally wooden and hand made? I cant remember where I saw that, but I think it was on a documentary a while back.

The name 'lego' comes from the Danish phrase "leg godt", meaning "play well."

There's my contribution. :grin:
