It’s the 30th anniversary of Lego and weird things are happening, man. For inst, another giant Lego man mysteriously washed ashore in the resort town of Brighton, England. He’s not the same the guy as the one in Holland because he’s wearing a different outfit.

Perfect robot decoys. When searched by a robot, act like a robot. And do the Robo-boogie

If your knees are feeling a bit like jell-o, or you just want to spend more time rotating and massaging your iPhone’s touchscreen, Jelly Car may be just what the doctor ordered. Guide your jelly-mobile over, under, and across all sorts of gummy obstacles. It’s simple. It’s addictive. And it’s free. It’s even causing waves across the pond. Get a completely “jellified” review here.
