An 8 feet tall lego man is dragged to shore in The Netherlands. News Conference on Death of Officer Fox – NBC10 Philadelphia
The company who produces lego says it doesn’t know where it has come from.
Between that and the expected rubber-duckie invasion, one thing is clear: Europe is threatened by its toys.
Did he fall overboard off the aircraft carrier and swell up from absorbing water?
The phrase on its chest, “No Real Than You Are”, is a perfect example of something that doesn’t quite make sense. Is it meant to be “No More Real Than You Are” or “No Less Real Than You Are”?
Don’t tell the Dutch, but we are hoping they will treat it as a gift and take it to Amsterdam. Then the crack team of SAS midgets hiding inside will emerge at midnight and smash up the coffee shops. Did they think we’d forgotten about that Ronald Koeman goal?

No… It’s réal, Old French for Royal.
And “EGO LEONARD” is Latin for “I (am) Leonard”, i.e., Leonardo DaVinci… As in The DaVinci Code… Which referenced sangraal => sang réal = royal blood…
