Lego Man Papercraft

I grew up playing Lego. I remember having a collection with lots of different Lego people. This cool model from DrakerDG certainly brings back a lot of good memories. Just like the real thing, every part is removable.

V for Vendetta CubeDude by polywen (link roundup)

V for Vendetta Lego CubeDude by polywen.

And a few more links:

1. One response to the claim in SuperFreakonomics that geoengineering is the easiest way to solve global warming, is that if we can't globally agree on cutting emissions, how could we possibly agree on affirmative geoengineering?

2. But that argument begs the question - - if it's so easy, why not just do it without reaching global consensus? Not too farfetched when you hear that the mayor of Moscow "for just a few million dollars" intends to hire jets to spray chemicals on approaching clouds, causing them to dump snow onto suburbs instead of Moscow. Via.
