This might be the biggest waste of time and money I've ever seen. And I'm in love with it.
The fine folks at Lego created a life-sized replica of an X-Wing Fighter from Star Wars, complete with a R2 Unit. The ship weighs 46,000 pounds, and contains 5.3 million Lego bricks. It took 32 people a combined total of 17,000 hours to put this together, because using that time and energy to fight poverty would have been boring.
This monument to Geekdom is now sitting in Times Square where it's being used to promote Cartoon Network's new series The Yoda Chronicles, which premieres next Wednesday. Next week, it will be packed up and shipped to LEGOLAND near San Diego, where it will be on display for the next year. Personally, I'll hold out on visiting LEGOLAND until they build a life-sized Star Destroyer. (Source)

Go Ahead. Pre-Oder the ‘Fast 6′ Blu-Ray Before You Even See the Film. You Know You Want To.
Look man, the critics love Fast & Furious 6 and Vin Diesel loves Fast & Furious 6. Do you honestly think there is any chance in hell that you, too, will not also love Fast & Furious 6?
Right. There is no chance. You are going to love it. So what the hell are you waiting for? Just go ahead and pre-order the Fast & Furious 6 Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack right now. It's only $20.99 over at Amazon. What are you, some kind of communist who doesn't buy things?
Okay, I'm totally kidding. There's no rush. Go ahead and see the Fast & Furious 6 at your local cineplex tonight. Then go to Amazon and pre-order the blu-ray. After all, Universal is counting on you.
You see, after Oblivion, Star Trek, and Iron Man 3 had such strong opening weekend Blu-ray/DVD pre-order sales, Universal has decided to do the same thing with Fast & Furious 6 to capitalize on all that enthusiasm you're going to have after you watch that epic tank chase scene.
Smart move, don't you think?
Wait, no, don't think. Just buy.
