HI, LEGOMAN HERE!

Lego is such a popular building brick these days! People make sculptures, program robots, and produce stop animation with Legos! Even here at smellityet.com, we post about Lego! I thought it would be cool to post 20 fun facts about Lego. :)

1. The Lego company began 1934, when a former carpenter, Ole Kirk Christiansen, built wooden toys. Plastic bricks weren't started in the Lego company until 1940.

Play "The Great War of Prefectures"

LDD (Lego Digital Designer)

Hi, Legoman here! I found a program on the lego website called LDD, or Lego Digital Designer. It lets you create your own Lego models on the computer, whether you want to buy them, or making them for fun. I was playing around with it, and I created a set I named "The Resistance vs. the Undead".

The Great War of Prefectures

Hi, Legoman here! Today I was browsing the internet, when I stumbled upon an interesting game. The game was called The Great War of Prefectures, where you try to conquer Japan. It's similar to risk, yet this is more entertaining with the fight sequences, upgrade options, and silly cartoon circles as troops.

McDonald's New Smoothies

One hot summer day, you are thirsty. But you do not want water, you want something cold. Something cold, sweet, and somewhat slushy. The answer is: Smoothies! Such a perfect thing for the summer!

Hi, Legoman here! I'm pretty sure you have heard of the new fruit smoothies at McDonalds. All smoothies are great, but here's the thing: McDonalds claim that it has real fruit. You are probably thinking, "WOOHOO! REAL FRUIT! LETS PARTY!"
