Lego man to the rescue!

Legoman to the rescue

With a picture like this, how could I not post something about the fact that an 8-foot tall Lego man was found bobbing in the sea?

The full story from Reuters:

A giant, smiling Lego man was fished out of the sea in the Dutch resort of Zandvoort on Tuesday.

Workers at a drinks stall rescued the 2.5-meter (8-foot) tall model with a yellow head and blue torso.

"We saw something bobbing about in the sea and we decided to take it out of the water," said a stall worker. "It was a life-sized Lego toy."

A woman nearby added: "I saw the Lego toy floating toward the beach from the direction of England."

The toy was later placed in front of the drinks stall.

What's the deal with the "No real than you are" on its torso?

I think we should print up light blue t-shirts that say "No real than you are" on them.

Who's with me?

He looks so kind and gentle playing with those children. Here he looks a little menacing. Is he crushing her head?
