TechEBlog » LEGO Aircraft Carrier

To bad the information is minimal. I'd like to know approx. how many pieces it took and how much it weighs.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Quite a piece of work. It looks like a few million $ worth of legos.

Wow that's pretty cool - I guess somebody has a little too much time on their hands, and a ton of cash laying around

No, it's okay, really. It's your idea, I'm sure it would be grand.

Don't forget to build a convertible for the driveway.

No, that was Megablocks. Duplo is Lego for toddlers, it's the same company. Duplo pieces actually work with Lego.

No, the heck with plastic or wood - use an Erector set. Steel, baby.
