i don't have cable so i'm pretty much at the mercy of whatever airwaves happen to be bouncing by.
the other night it's a nail biting decision between the ant races and American Investors. it's the semi finals and i'm just about to flip over to catch the results when this guy starts explaining his invention.
he wants to build houses out of giant Legos. same theory as the kiddy ones, only adults get to play. he wants to revamp New Orleans… hmm, one house, two house, red house, blue house…
i have to say that once he got going thought, it kind of made sense. Legos are fire-proof, water-proof, termite-proof. they're lightweight, colorful, and if you ever get that uncontrollable itch to change things up, you can find a wide variety of home reno ideas on the side of the box. snap, snap, snap, Sally has a new kitchen.
i'll bet they could construct an entire town in a day. and if they can make homes out of straw, recycled bottles, tires, canvas, grass, cardboard, why not Legos...
I can't wait for the compact camping version.
clay,
straw bale,
wool...
moot or hooey?
the most original use of recycled material was recorded in the early 1600s when British buccaneer William Dampier ordered a crew of pirates to construct a world globe 20 feet across, made entirely of hair, teeth, and sinew scavenged from captive mutiners
