Legos are awesome. I thought about building chairs out of all white legos. Might look pretty cool in the right space, but would take forever if you glued the pieces together.

I never had Legos as a child. I was very jealous of the rich kids who did. Every time I'd visit their houses, I'd secretly smash their Lego creations. (I feel so much better finally expressing that...)

Not bizarre at all. James May built it for a TV show.

For a house of that scale, would you even need to glue the bricks together?

yes you definitely would need some kind of glue or something to hold it in place.

it has something to do with engineering and materials science or something like that. something large scale the properties of each single piece gets multiplied geometrically and the stress will bring it down

A box of legos are like $25, you don't need to be rich at all to get any, unless it cost a lot more when you guys were growing up.

just a lame excuse used by people whose parents didn't love them enough to bring home the bricks.

When I was a kid, plastics hadn't yet been invented, so Legos were hand-carved from jade. A set was quite expensive.
