Worlds within worlds.

In doing some research for a longer article I'm writing, I came across a site called The Brickshelf, which appears to be the main hangout of Lego fetishists. Strange stuff is to be found here, such as this minifig suicide-bomber. This is just one piece in a series called Conflict Zone - Global Crisis, possibly one day to be a feature-length stop-motion movie. And hey, look! It's Saddam being captured by US troops!

And in case all that isn't enough, here's the Old Testament, lego style.

You're welcome.

UPDATE: I've been flipping through the lego Old Testament and I must say I'm astonished. First, because it's so artistically done. Second, because it's so incredibly strange. You'd think someone telling bible stories with lego would stick to the parts that are safe and that most people are familiar with. Things like the Flood, Exodus, Abraham and Isaac, etc. But they've gone and also illustrated the really creepy parts of the Old Testament. The stuff we all know is in there but doesn't get too much attention. Check out The Law -- and no, I don't think it's work-safe.
