Achievement Unlocked: Musical Building Blocks

LEGO Album Covers group pool

Lego. It comes from Denmark; like bacon, but not as edible. Originally it started out as wooden blocks but eventually as plastic became more malleable the bricks were moulded from plastic instead. The name plastic derives from the Greek word plastikos (πλαστικός) which meant "to take on any shape." The third letter of the Greek alphabet is Gamma, which is also a type of radiation. It is the type of radiation purported to have afflicted Dr Bruce Banner so badly that when he gets angry he turns into The Hulk.

The Hulk was never allowed into any nice bars because he wore ripped shorts, which (if anything) only made him angrier. Many bars feature live music acts for the patrons' entertainment and this is how many bands get started on the road to international superstardom. Once famous, bands like to spend lots of money on filling their promo videos with explosions and cars and (depending on the act) lots of angst or bling. Unlike The White Stripes; who's video to Fell in Love with a Girl (Dir: Michel Gondry) was made entirely using Lego.

Man: When you take apart a Lego house and mix the pieces into the bin, where does the house go?

Woman: It's in the bin.

Man: No, those are just pieces. They could become spaceships or trains. The house was just an arrangement. The arrangement doesn't stay with the pieces and it doesn't go anywhere else. It's just gone.
