    At least they aren't saying Lego is to blame for Autism. I'm serious BTW. With all of the other imaginary causes, plastics and the other ingrediants used to make them is/was sure to be on their list.

    I also heard that turning off your gadgets helps YOU develop social skills.

    @AKAuser:


    That is a really sad attempt at being snarky/rude. Unlike cell phones where you talk/play with/text/ignore others you are with, LEGO can be more of a team building construction project. And if you are a fanatic like myself, you can go on and on about how there is a new piece/new design or facial expression on a minifigure's head or delegate the work. Like making others sort while you build. bwahhahahahahaha!


    (Ok. That was the saddest "bwahhahahahahaha!" ever but those who build LEGO with indeed understand....).

    LEGOs can help you with everything some examples:


    1. LEGO can help you rehabilitate you hand after surgery


    2. LEGO help you deal with the fact that everyone at you job is depressed and border line suicidal because you just happen to be working at Motorola


    3. LEGO can also help make a wonderful awesome friend


    4. LEGO can even help get you laid! (yes.)


    5.....and the list goes on and on and on

    I've heard that Duplo prevents heart disease and Glow-in-the-Dark "Better Blocks" cure cancer.

    @jiveabillion:
    No, no, the GitD "Better Blocks", or whatever they're called, _cause_ cancer due to the high levels of radioactive materials used to make them glow forever.
