It took a mere 500,000 bricks to assemble the tallest Lego tower ever. Measured at 100 feet in height, the structure was built at Legoland in the UK.
Just think if they built that out of blocks that didn't have interlocking pieces--that would be one heck of a game of Jenga!

That's bound to give you some weird form of "Lego back"...

Restoring a bit of history...
With all the McMansions that went up with the housing frenzy in recent years, it's nice to read about some architectural gems being preserved and restored, especially when they're this cool. I'm surprised there aren't more circular homes these days.

God will still be able to watch them play...

Scootypuff was telling me about his observation that you can tell who the holders of power are in a given society simply by looking to who has built the prevailing architectural spectacles of the time. Well, with that logic, it looks like the business of sports is mighty powerful.
Jerry Jones unveiled the details of the new stadium for "America's Team" last night. With a capacity up to 100,000 and a cost of $1 billion, the new home of the Dallas Cowboys sure lives up to the team's Texas-sized reputation. Two retractable roof panels, weighing 2.1 million pounds each, will allow the top of the stadium to be partially closed. Partially, because it will retain the distinctive hole in the roof. Hanging above midfield will be a 600 ton video screen that's 60 yards long. Check out the rest of the Dallas Morning News interactive tour here.
But after reading about all this, what is my only complaint? They're using synthetic turf. Bummer.
