if lego did a series for the good, the bad and the ugly, that would be the end of everything right there.

love how much work went into recapping the year with legos. as for an official clint east wood type set never going to happen for clint will not give his okay to use his likeness on any thing.back to the future sets . lego would have to get the okay from michel fox and cast to be legoed.not going to happen other then maybe a delorean

no psy?

"the year's most memorable news events" looks a lot like the year's most distorted stories from main stream media

1) Repulican National Convention forces through the nomination of a candidate with a whooping 6% party approval

2) Boom of same gender marriages - the long awaited just deserts for religious zealots who secularized marriage in order to dicriminate against other faiths.

3) Russians still totalitarian assholes - once again only artists stand against them and once again the western manstream media plays it off as a joke

4) There are still people with more money than sense.

5) NASA lands Curiosity rover for the same cost as TWO Direct to Mars manned missions.

6) Waiting until someone dies to accuse them of a crime is very unsatifying.

7) Conn Edison union thugs strand millions without electricity rather than let non-union power companies come into the state to help.

8) Human beings despirately loney no matter how much power they weild

9) The first cracks in the alcohol recreational drug monopoly

10) Anti-gun folks still trying to legislate morality just like anti-abortion folks - both sides oblivious to their utter failure to accomplish anything

Curiosity Rover was just its porn star name.

Luke,

I know that as a civilian I have little standing to criticize, but...  Posting naked links to stories posted elsewhere seems... pointless.  Many of us come here not just for a nerdy news fix, but for a dose of humor or snark, at least.
