April 15, 2011 – Legos, the building blocks of life?
Children in Brazil hold the new world record for the tallest tower built out of Legos. Located in Sao Paulo and made from 500,000 pieces, the tower reaches a staggering 102 feet 3 inches. That height exceeds the previous record, held by Chile, by about 1 foot.

Legos sure do bring back some fond childhood memories. But legos aren’t just for children anymore. London artist, Finn Stone, decorated a pair of stilettos with legos creating a fabulously fashionable pair of shoes! Legos have been used to create all kinds of nontraditional art taking the shape of cars, guitars, the Nintendo character Mario and even the Mona Lisa.
