TOYS: Fifth Element fight sequence recreated in LEGO

There’s something about The Fifth Element, that never grows old with me.  Lego is also something that never grows old, so when I saw Matt De Lanoy’s take on the battle aboard the Fhloston Paradise, I knew I had to take in the photo gallery in detail, which will ensure I will never grow old.  Right?

Take the jump for a couple more pictures, then head over to Matt’s Flickr stream to see the rest.

AWESOME: Things to do in the snow when you are talented

As the snow falls at the Major Spoilers HQ, at some point today, The Boy will ask if we can go out and build a snowman, or some such sculpture.  I hope he doesn’t see this bit of awesome, or I’m done for.

GAMING: WALL OF 8-BIT AWESOME IS AWESOME!

Most of the time, when I enter my local big grocery/retail store (let’s call it Targ-mart), I could give two shits craps doo-doos about the wall of art the bored shelf stockers build out of soft drink products.  HOWEVER, now that I’ve seen this awesome wall of Super Mario Bros. art made completely out of Coke and Coke owned soft drinks, I’m sold! Not that I’d drink Coke products – Colt 45 all the way!

LEGO: Plastic gears recreate ancient Greek Antikythera machine

Is there nothing LEGO can’t do?  I can build a small world for my son to play with, or a robot, that someday will rise up and kill me in my sleep.  LEGO can be used for so many things, including recreating the Antikythera Mechanism that perplexed people for a number of years.
