Lego Abominations

The Astronaut Twins are always cheerful. Today they are particularly cheerful, because they're here to introduce our new collection of Lego Abominations.

(The Lego Abominations are even more abominable when viewed full-size. Each photo links to its flickr page where you can see it in high-resolution.)

Surf's up! (What sharks?)

The "X-Ray brick" is a fully functional but inside-out Lego brick.

It was made by attaching two regular 2 x 4 bricks together with acetone. The pair was left stacked with other bricks to maintain spacing while the acetone dried. Once the acetone had cured, the two side portions-- effectively 1 x 4 bricks-- were cut off of the sides, leaving the brick as you see it here.

In the Lego world, fish do not need bicycles, but they certainly enjoy them. No Lego bricks were harmed making this one-- it turns out that this swordfish fits perfectly on the bicycle. Coincidence?

Just in time for Halloween, here is the Headless Horseman, without his horse. I guess that just makes him the Headless Swordsman or something. He really looks a lot better in the dark. Read on to see how we lit him up like a pumpkin.
