Legos anyone?

I've become a little bit hooked on the LEGO Masters show on Wednesday evenings on Fox.  Over the last few weeks the master builders have built some amazing large constructions - city scapes, movie sets, theme parks and more.  Lego creations have been blown up, knocked down, dropped from a height and just admired for their amazingness.  Tonight the challenge was to build a bridge with at least a four-foot span and have it judged for looks and strength.  The wimpiest bridge only held 25 pounds before it collapsed. I was impressed when the first one tested held 450 pounds.  The two best each held 1,000 (one thoousand) pounds.  They weren't allowed to add more weight that that for safety sake.  I think they didn't want little legos shooting around like bullets when they snapped under pressure.  Of the two best bridges, one was built with Lego technic pieces that link together more firmly but the other one was just built with the old familiar snap together pieces.  All very interesting.  I recommend this show, unless, of course, you prefer a show with actors and a plot.  Oh well, to each his or her own.
