Hi all,

haven't been around for a while, but this popped up in my email, and I thought you might appreciate it... I thought it was cool, but some people clearly have a lot of time on their hands

Escherlego

Now that's cool.

I guess they wanted to take advantage of the pieces that had more than one "interface" facing.

Neato!

Wow!

That is the coolest thing I have seen in a long, long while.

I've had Relativity as my desktop picture for a couple months, and I have yet to find something cool enough to replace it with. And everyone who sees it loves it. [Smile]

I love the fact that serious Lego constructors have all the right technical terminology for the pieces - my brother and I used to call them "4 bumpers" and "6 bumpers" and "skinny 8 bumpers."

That is awesome! I sent a link to my baby brother who will love it! [Smile]

I know - Takes me back to my childhood - hours and hours spent playing with lego. Never quite this advanced, though. It looks to me from reading between the lines that there must be some kind of lego fraternity (similar to trekkies;-) anyone know anything about it???

Brickfest looks like it might be the starting point...

These guys are brilliant, in an obsessed and scarey sort of way.

Now, my plan to render Escher's work in macaroni is a different thing altogether.

the challenge, Bob, will be to do escher using only cooked macaroni!
