Happy Birthday!
I just read a random fact that there are 62 Lego bricks for everyone on earth. Which makes me feel like the wealthiest of kings. It was an interesting dose of perspective.

Only if you're a communist
Here's another:
Two eight-stud LEGO bricks of the same color can be combined in 24 different ways. Three eight-stud bricks can be combined in 1,060 ways. There are more than 915 million combinations possible for six 2 x 4 LEGO bricks of the same color.
I dare someone to try each combination

If it were to come to that, which 62 of your pieces would you keep?

I just tried the 2 brick option and can verify 24 combinations, if you are able to pretend the direction of the lettering on the studs doesn't matter. Go ahead and get started on the three brick option and let me know.

That's pretty quick. At that rate it should only take about half an hour to do the other 960, but you've already done more than I would have! 
One of the DK books contained the combo factoid. It only lends to how versatile Lego can be!
I figured it wouldn't take me too long to the rest either, the problem is I can't see another 960 combinations to do (although there were a few possibilities that I know I haven't explored, so who knows, maybe those would lead me to figuring out some new combinations). Maybe I'll try the rest again some time in the future (to be fair I have nothing to do tomorrow until the evening sooooo....... )
I think I'll watch the BRAWL entries tomorrow. Why I haven't already I have no idea haha
All the entries this year were really high in quality! It was a great set of films this time around!:D
I was in San Diego last weekend helping my girlfriend move, and we went the free Laika experience that was happening during SDCC. It was absurdly cool to see some of the puppets and sets in person.
The last pic is me at 7 AM. I wonder how they got that photo?
I love it! TV series Fresh Off The Boat often has the two younger boys building with Lego that didn't exist in the mid 1990s, but my protests went unheard...
Nathan Wells, you're famous!
This popped up on my Facebook feed, and while I'm not one for horror, the headline caught my eye. Great catch.Embrace the nerdiness guys, one day, you too may be in a hilarious online article.
That was indeed hilarious. Glad to know I'm not the only Lego fan seething enough to boycott "IT!"
By the way, I wanted to ask Nathan, what set(s) feature the lime 2x2 slope predominantly?
Man that is one hirrarious article.

Here is a list of sets that include the 2x2 lime green slope: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn … 4&ov=Y
Of course if you're looking to ship a box full of them to Nathan, bricklink seller "Playonbricks" currently has the largest quantity for sale at 4,106 which will cost you $205.30 USD + S&H.
