Built by some enterprising and generally awesome people at Team Hassenplug Monster Chess contains over 100,000 LEGO® pieces, plays chess automatically and features animated chess pieces.
It’s actually even better than the monster chess aboard the Millennium Falcon. That’s saying something.
After managing a whole week without mentioning MJ, proof positive that many fans had waaaaay to much time on their hands…a video so terrifying it will have you bricking it!
Ah Easter, for the irreligious Electric Spectre crew, it’s just an excuse to eat chocolate, but for the bizzare sect known as “Christi-ans” it apparently has something to do with a cave, a shroud, and a simple carpenter.
What better way then, to celebrate Jesus rising zombie-like form the grave, than a six foot statue made from LEGO! The popular children’s bricks have a multitude of uses, but this is the first case of blasphemous idolotry we could find.
The 30,000 brick statue at Onsta Gryta church in Vasteras, Sweden, is a copy of Danish (naturally) sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen’s “Christus” statue on display in Copenhagen.

Remember ages and ages ago when things from the 80s suddenly became cool again? (Personally I’m waiting for a 5 Star revival and Bruno Brookes returning to Radio 1) Well, it seems that generation Z is still stuck for ideas to call it’s own, so has just decided to carry on rolling out the same old shtick in order to rape your childhood (TM, G.Lucas). The latest casualty? Why none other than Lego! These Danish sticklebricks are pretty much a part of anyone’s childhood, and I have no objection to them making a few extra krone by churning out belt buckles, but I do have a problem with the people wearing those buckles. To wit – the would-be hipsters who’ve decided it’s cool this season to be seen out in Shoreditch (another thing they still think is cool) with a pair of plastic brick trousers or similar.
Looks like Lego is ideal for fashioning into cameras (film-loaded, because that’s what everyone uses right?) and knuckle dusters. What the hell was wrong with spaceships and a castle?Apparently:
“While LEGO is still one of the top children’s toy brands, it is spontaneously morphing into a credible street brand .”
A credible street brand. Like those spaz-pants with hilfiger written on them. Or crocs. Fuck you hipsters.
