Legos!

Huh, look at this Lego kit:

It's Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater.  There is also a Guggenheim Museum and some other models in their architecture collection.  Who new? 

I've been listening to an interesting podcast - Stuff You Should Know - and they are discussing Legos right now.  Pretty awesome.

Here are some facts to amaze your friends:
4 million children and adults will play with Legos this year

There are 4 billion Lego people on the planet
Eleven people have been certified as Lego professionals
Lego is a combination of two Danish words: Leg Godt meaning play well
Coincidentally, Lego also means "I put together" in Latin
