  • Many months ago I built a pyramid out of Lego. It actually took a lot longer than you might think because the spines aren't "solid". As I built it higher, the pressure on the lower arcs kept increasing, so pushing down on the bricks to lock them into place kept causing it to fall apart. I can't count how many times I rebuilt it.

Sorry about the long lapse in posts. I've been working a lot of overtime and haven't felt like putting much time into web surfing. Anyway, here is some cool stuff:
