    Looks pretty nice. Although I would've made the blackface version myself, it's a much better circuit.

    You know, I was never a Lego baby. Maybe that is what caused me to have such horrible creativity.


    Someone should build a program that sees a picture on your computer and tells you how many pieces of Lego you will need and how to build it. I think Lego might have this somewhere in their secret basement of awesomeness.


    There is no way in hell that someone thought of how to build the Death Star on Legos.

    @Professional_Iceberg_Hunter: Let's put it this way: Leonardo Da Vinci wasn't a lego baby either.


    Feel better?

    @Professional_Iceberg_Hunter:
    If you don't mind it being restricted to a 2D mosaic, there are already at least two programs out there. One was available through the LEGO Shop@Home website for ordering custom B&W mosaic kits. The other was fan-developed for designing color mosaics. Also, Eric Harshbarger (the original freelance LEGO artist, though he has been surpassed by Nathan Sawaya in recent years) custom-tailored an existing program that would output the plans in terms of decorated tiles instead of the standard design which uses plates.


    As for the other bit, there's a guy who wrote a program that would spit out LEGO plans to build a replica of the Standford Bunny, and there's another program out there that will spit out plans for building a studs-out sphere. But to date, there's no program I'm aware of that'll churn out 3D plans of any random object you put in front of it.

    That's cool. Even the thumbnail had me convinced (sans the logo).

    @saif32: I believe that is HIGHLY debatable. Especially when considering the Jello my aunt concocted for every family gathering: lime Jello with layers of sour cream and horseradish sauce. For real.

    Edible.


    @Brian Broker:


    Are you that dense and/or have you never really played with LEGO? They make pieces that are circles!


    @switchblade saints:


    They have LEGO pieces formed like fire out of the box.


    @Justin Williams:


    You zing was wrong, his/her mom is edible!

    Megabloks. I'm pretty sure the LEGO bricks would revolt.


    Also, edible food is already covered, or were you unaware that you can buy LEGO-branded Eggo waffles and LEGO-branded fruit snacks?
