Giant Lego man washes up on Dutch coast
2007-08-08
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A giant, smiling Lego man was fished out of the sea in the Dutch resort of Zandvoort on Tuesday.

Workers at a drinks stall rescued the 2.5-meter (8-foot) tall model with a yellow head and blue torso. "We saw something bobbing about in the sea and we decided to take it out of the water," said a stall worker. "It was a life-sized Lego toy."

A woman nearby added: "I saw the Lego toy floating toward the beach from the direction of England."

#10  First they came for seaside chilluns, but I wasn't one.

Then, they came for the Lincoln Log toys, but I didn't have any.

Then, they came for me, and no one was around...

#4  Comment from that Master of Words Mark Steyn

This guy is huge. And what's the meaning of his curiously ambiguous slogan? "NO REAL THAN YOU ARE"? And why is the vise-like grip of his hand the perfect fit for a small child's torso? Tomorrow morning, we'll be waking up to "Giant Lego Man Eats The Hague". Or, alternatively, "Giant Lego Man's Giant Koran Also Found In Dutch Sea".
