The rich aren't like you and me. Instead of using $60,000 to pay off student loans, put a down payment on a house, or save the money in a retirement account, some of them would rather order a life-sized replica of themselves made out of Lego bricks from the Neiman-Marcus 2008 holiday catalogue. You know — the basics.
If you thought playing with LEGOs was difficult, try playing with these.

Giant Lego Man Found in Sea
On Tuesday, an 8-foot smiling Lego man washed ashore on a beach in the Netherlands. His chest read, "No Real Than You Are." What could the coming of a giant, illiterate Lego dude mean for the world (besides global warming)...?
Oh, look! It's a heartwarming video of drunken Legos, some of them related, singing their praises for "liquid bread," aka beer. I'm not a big fan of beer, and even keeling over, burping, singing Legos can't win me over.
Just listening to The Simpsons intro music makes me happier. But then someone went and did it in Legos. Double happiness!
I'm not going to make my usual too-much-time-on-their-hands joke because this is the way we should all spend our free time! Making cool, pop culturally referential stuff out of Legos! (Disclaimer: the Beatles are disproportionately represented for some reason!)

Or was it Raiders of the Lost Ark? I get them mixed up, but one of those Indiana Jones flicks features a classic scene showing Harrison Ford running away from a giant boulder. Leave it to some jokesters in San Francisco to create a boulder made completely of Legos.
The YouTube title for this vid is "A private hamster elevator made of Lego." Have cuter words ever been spoken? This little guy Dopey is trying to get to the second floor of his hammie condo and the Lego elevator is promising, if a bit unreliable.
