The Law of the Legos

A question had been asked recently "How many Legos is too many?"

I have debated this question many times in my own mind. While I don't have the capacity to tackle that question in one sitting, I feel I might at some point if I'm really planning on procrastinating. Of course, it'd have to be something major that needed to be put off for days, or maybe weeks, since counting every single little block would take some dedication. It's not something I have a feeling could be done over one summer vacation.

This leads to another question of Legos: how can little plastic blocks be so entertaining? So many kids (myself included) throughout their childhoods (mine's still occuring) are so enthralled with the little locking blocks. They thrill the imagination just to think of all the things that can be created with them. Not to mention the themed toys they are designed after; Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc. Heck, there's even an amusement park and video games inspired by the toy-themed sets. Even today, if I was walking down the sidewalk and found two Legos, there is NO force in the universe that is powerful enough to keep me from connecting those blocks together!

Which begs the final question regarding Legos: Why the HELL didn't I think of those first?!!
