I think this is like that alterniverse episode of STAR TREK. Somewhere is a race of Lego people surprised that a dead man of flesh and blood, like their kids play with, washed ashore on their plastic beach. ---

In the video, the beach girls show us the Giant Lego Man’s head freely rotates, signifying, “I smile on all of you.” One of the beach-goers bonked on the Giant Lego Man’s arm, which did not move, signifying, “My grasp is steady and unwavering.” Or something like that… :dubious: 😉 Some of you are much better schooled than I am in the fields of poetry and interpretation of religious mysteries. What wisdom can we glean from the arrival of the Giant Lego Man? C’mon, we don’t want to be caught flat-footed by the usual bible-waggers! Get your DaVinci decoders out and puzzle this out before THEY do! ---

I bet his family’s all to pieces over this… I’m sure the logo is code for something-either Armageddon or a clearance sale, not sure which. ---
