The whimsical collection features a little LEGO figure placed into all kinds of fun and unexpected settings around town. We catch only a glimpse of the toy photographer's face as he composes the perfect landscape or ventures beyond the known and into the crevices of a brick wall.As anyone who was ever a kid knows, Legos are awesome. You can build anything that comes to your mind out of a few simple pieces. For builds that are more involved than something like a super-awesome fort for your characters to hide out in, there's the Lego's Technic line that opens up your world even further. This particular video is of someone assembling a Lego Technic LeMans racer. It's a kit, not his own design, but once you start watching him put it all together, you won't be able to look away.

Yet automakers are pushing them big time. What to expect if you go to the L.A. Auto ShowPhotos from the L.A. Auto ShowThe year is 2050: Two-thirds of the world’s population live in cities, and urban sprawl is rampant. What will our transportation system and cars look like?This question helped form the basis of the Automobility L.A. Design and Developer Challenge, which invited creative and unexpected collaborations to conceptualize autonomous cars of the future.Over the last year, teams including Crayola and Qoros; Fandango and Jaunt VR; and Honda, Lego and Trigger designed concept vehicles to showcase at Wednesday’s event.Some teams, like Kiska and KTM, envisioned a future of deserted cities that were only used for racing vehicles. Another, CH Auto and Creative Mobile, imagined interconnected West Coast cities, forming “Octoangeles.” Their design included three-dimensional travel and seamless interaction between vehicle and human.Honda, Lego and Trigger, the competition winner, used the power of kids’ imagination to develop their concept.
There's even a ludicrously detailed Peugeot 908 HDI. Yeah, that one's a bit more modern than the rest of the lot, but it's still cool as hell. The models all feature well-executed engine bays, and most wear removable body panels. They're absolutely brilliant, and they're better than any kit you'll find sitting on a shelf.

The cast of the television series MythBusters perform experiments to verify or debunk urban legends, old wives' tales, and the like. This is a list of the various myths tested on the show as well as the results of the experiments (the myth is Busted, Plausible, or Confirmed). This episode was an 87-minute-long special. The vehicles that were demolished during the episode all received an end credit in the form of an in memoriam (spelled in memorium on screen). Based on numerous car chase scenes in films, the Build Team tested myths based on whether cars would be able to successfully drive through/into various obstructions. Two criteria were used to test each scenario: whether the real crash appeared similar to its Hollywood counterpart, and whether the car could be driven away afterward. As part of Discovery Channel's Alaska Week 2009 series, the MythBusters returned to Alaska to test more cold weather myths.
Based on Geoffrey Pyke's proposed project of building an aircraft carrier out of pykrete during World War II (it wasn't put into practice because the war ended), the MythBusters decided to test the viability of making a pykrete boat. In additional footage shown on the MythBusters website, two additional tests were shown. The Build Team tested several myths that involve creating diamonds with household materials such as... Unable to produce any diamonds using household items, the Build Team went on to test whether... Adam, Jamie, and the Build Team tested three myths drawn from videos seen on YouTube. This myth was not shown in the actual episode aired in the United States, but was featured in the version of the episode aired outside of North America and on the MythBusters website and included in the iTunes download as an extra scene. It was based on a video created by the YouTube user: Household Hacker. Adam and Jamie explored the physics of swimming in syrup, while the Build Team probed two "magic bullet" myths.
Adam, Jamie, and the Build Team joined forces to investigate a puzzling seesaw myth. This is the second myth in which the MythBusters and the Build Team bust a myth together Adam and Jamie tested whether or not a person could... Jamie and a Blue Angels team member prepare for a flyby at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma To help test this myth, the MythBusters enlisted the aid of the Blue Angels and their F/A-18 Hornets. This myth was inspired by scenes from the film version of Wanted. The Build Team tested various myths involving popcorn. The MythBusters tackle various myths relating to the "handyman's secret weapon". They tested whether or not duct tape can... Adam and Jamie test whether a dirty car gets better gas mileage than an equivalent clean car, while the Build Team test an old adage concerning beer, liquor, and hangovers. The MythBusters test two potential kitchen disasters, as well as whether cheese can be used with a cannon. Adam and Jamie tested whether windows should be open or closed during a hurricane, while the Build Team took on two myths involving liquid nitrogen.
Adam and Jamie tested whether a car would explode when driven off a cliff. The Build Team saw if a rocket could launch a cage containing a human. The MythBusters test new tangents from five previous myths. The Build Team tested various Hollywood methods for shooting around corners, beginning with an offshoot of the "Bend a Bullet" myth from episode 123. Grant and Tory also tested other techniques of shooting around a corner in Hollywood movies. Starting from Kari's position at the doorway, they tried to hit the target in the room by... According to Tory, this "complete set" appears to have set a first on MythBusters, where three myths were tested simultaneously with one Confirmed, one Plausible, and the other Busted. Taking off from the original Car Cling myth, Adam and Jamie tested whether or not someone could... The MythBusters pointed out that the tests were done with empty cardboard boxes, as they seemingly are in many Hollywood movies. A different result may suffice if they contained any shipment, especially heavy ones like electronics or "anvils."
Fans requested having this myth tested after the original Liquid Nitrogen myths were shown in the Hurricane Windows episode. The original Snowplow Split tests shown in the second Alaska Special focused only on the circumstances of the myth. This new, supersized test presented below looked onto the results. Adam and Jamie test a Hollywood chase scene jump, while the Build Team probes a gruesome diving disaster. Kari departs to begin her maternity leave, and Jessi Combs joins the build team in her absence. Adam and Jamie put a story of a prisoner's escape to the test, while the Build Team investigates a supposedly foolproof method for smugglers to avoid detection. Adam and Jamie test the Hollywood cowboy's ability to shoot a gun out of a villain's hand, while the Build Team tries to re-create a big-budget bus jump. Adam and Jamie tackle two health-hazard myths, while the Build Team tries to skip a car like a stone. The MythBusters examine six small, bizarre tales.
