Axlrosen points this item out from the Chicago Tribune, where the full story is nothing but a caption:
Remember when newspaper people knew how to write? Googling around for more info, it turns out that this giant didn't show up all... erect, and stuff, he actually just washed ashore on Tuesday. No explanation.

It had to be on purpose, don't you think?

Giant Lego man washed up on Dutch beachPosted Wed Aug 8, 2007 6:03am AEST


Washed up: Children play around the giant Lego man (Reuters: Paul Vreeker)
A giant, smiling Lego man has been fished out of the sea in the Dutch resort of Zandvoort.

Workers at a drinks stall rescued the 2.5-metre tall model, which had a yellow head and blue torso.

"We saw something bobbing about in the sea and we decided to take it out of the water," said a stall worker. "It was a life-sized Lego toy."

A woman nearby added: "I saw the Lego toy floating towards the beach from the direction of England."

The toy was later placed in front of the drinks stall.

Floating from England, eh?

When something washes up on the beach, how do you tell it came from the direction of England? It's probably like a Trojan horse, but is filled with angry elm tree seeds, looking to get even for Dutch Elm disease.

Hah. So that's where Ego went.....yeah....we all had a big fuckin party last week...the whole country, and Ego figured he'd buzz the Dutch for a laff.

I guess we can't eat this one.
I was wondering if it was part of a set... where are #s 1 through 8?

Isn't anyone going to ask why someone has graphically inserted "No real than you are" on the picture of the front of this thing?

it not inserted, look here, it just looks that way because its so in focus while everything else isn't, because its not actually lego, because its a jpeg and because it's missing the word 'more'.

Why is it missing the word 'more'?

did anyone notice that the girl on the left in the 2nd pic was actually copping a feel?

Question
 

I found this yesterday also and wanted to give a link for the page and pictures so that it could be used for an image of the day but couldn't find out how to enter it.. If I find something interesting who do I tell?

Email Undertoad.

Meanwhile, somewhere in England, there is a giant lego house with a giant lego woman wondering where her husband has got to.

hahaha. Funny Kingswood
