Unlike some people he overhears in restaurants...

LEGO Daniel's very interested in the mating habits of the pink flamingo.



I know it's huge and kind of ostrich-esque, but I think that's a little bit revealing about said mating habits, isn't it?

And yes, I cheated by connecting the neck to the body using tape. Go ahead and call the LEGO police. They'll never take me alive!

Eavesdropping, Part I: Know-It-All

Droppin' eaves left and right.

I overheard part of a conversation between two people in a restaurant today. It may not be ethical, but it can be fascinating.

"I know I sound like a know-it-all... but I'm really not, because if I open up the Encyclopedia, I don't know any of that stuff. I really only know about stuff that I'm interested in. I'm not interested in the mating habits of the pink flamingo."

Happy Birthday, Lava Lamp!

The lava lamp (also known as the astro lamp) was invented 50 years ago today in 1963. Fun Fact: I have a lava lamp on my desk.

To celebrate, LEGO Daniel is hanging out with his lava lamp all day.

Fun Fact: When I was a kid, the LEGO town I had in my room had a few lava lamps in it, and I built them the exact same way, using a goblet as the base. Then years later, LEGO released a VW bus set with the same exact lava lamp in it.
