OMG Lego envy
The Mythbusters took on a YouTube myth about someone assembling 5 million Lego bricks into a ball and rolling it down the street. Yes, that’s 5 million Lego bricks (Legos).
Well, the Mythbusters were only able to get 500,000 Lego bricks–as they say, “all the excess Lego blocks in North America”. (That’s ok, the 5 million bricks were estimated to weigh 10 tons.) But they were able to borrow another 500,000 bricks. So, that’s only 1 million Lego blocks in one place.
I can just hear the Ball brothers (including my friend Justin) drooling.

What would you do with 1,000,000 Lego blocks?
