I don't know Cosmos, but Benny Hill was the best, I loved his show. I should try and buy the dvd if it's available. Thanks for bringing back these memories Jesus. #carlsagan
@Coolmodo: try to watch Benny Hill again before investing in a DVD of it. it really isn't funny. believe me i thought it was hilarious as a kid. #carlsagan
@Noobs-R-Us: Are you referring to Cosmos? I should have been informed it was that boring, so I would never have watched all the 13 chapters with so much enthusiasm last month. #carlsagan
@Noobs-R-Us: I'm gonna side with Gustavo on that Cosmos is freakin' awesome, but I gotta say passing out on the couch while watch cosmos gives me some of the most peaceful sleep i get these days. #carlsagan
Interesting... I'd be more impressed if the object that the shadow belongs to, could be used to create all three shadows simply by changing perspective.
All too often I see someone's attempt to make a LEGO western dragon and I am sorely disappointed, either because it doesn't look organic enough, or because the wings suck, or both. This not only bypasses both of those issues, but makes up for every single one of them. #lego
This is cool but is this from a model dragon set or did he make it out of those normal Lego bricks? Im asking because the shapes of the bricks are custom shaped to be constructed into a dragon (eg claws etc).
Am i thinking of another Lego??? #lego
of course, itd be rad to see someone make an equally impressived something out of mega blocks.
hah
"they're the same thing as legos!"
my parents just never understood. #lego
Just a random thought... $3700 / 175h = 21.14 $/hr... not including the week of planning. Don't ask me why I thought that was relevant. Actually, it was because before I read the full article I thought the dude was selling it for profit, so I wanted to see if it was worth his time and energy. But since it is for charity it kind of voids everything written above. #legomario
@Duckspwn: Also, you didn't factor in the cost of materials. Profit = revenue - cost, and cost included materials and labor. He spent 175 man hours on this (and whatever additional planning time) plus some amount on the actual Lego blocks.
Since he's doing this for charity, the amount he spent on the blocks is pretty much the only cost to factor in, though. #legomario
@WestwoodDenizen: @Glaiel-Gamer: @MonkeyPaw: Eeeep. Bad math on my part (although I did cover my ass with the last line I wrote). Yeah, I forgot to take into consideration the cost of Legos. But given that this is for charity, I'm pretty sure he got some sweet deal on those. #legomario
