[QUOTE=PaulParkhead] You are not allowed to laugh at [this](http://rgh.cc/displayimage.php?pos=-2114) [/QUOTE] I’m talking on the phone to my sister, I click on the link, and I laughed. Hang me. She asks what I’m laughing at, I tell her. She doesn’t get it. Though to give her credit, she probably doesn’t know who Hawking is. ---

You can get your Lego Social Scientists [here](http://www.theory.org.uk/lego.htm) . I like the Stuart Hall encoding-decoding machine. About the Lego/Legos thing: Lego is an acronym for **Le** g **Go** dt - which means something like “play well” in Danish. Here we call them Lego bricks/blocks. There is no such thing as a/one Lego. ---

[QUOTE=Panurge] There is no such thing as a/one Lego. [/QUOTE] There most certainly is. I stepped on it the other day - little fuckers’ edges are SHARP and they hide in the carpet, they do. ---
