    We need more bricks !! Via รผbergizmo

    Lego builder โ€œBraneโ€ managed to discover a way of creating a Lego submarine which is fully capable of navigating through an aquarium, but gave no promises of it being watertight.

Along the way, they’ve yelled and screamed at each other and butted heads from time to time. They also developed an enduring relationship that surely will last a lifetime, even with Phelps retiring after his final race of the Olympics on Saturday.”

    He wore them at the London 2012 Olympics, so let’s give them a shameless plug. Geeks verdict is Gold: “If they’re good enough for Michael Phelps, I figured that I’d give them a listen. I was pleasantly surprised, but regrettably they did nothing for my performance in the pool.”See ZD Net
