Just about everything on [the list](http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/top-10-strangest-lego-creations) is pretty cool, but if you ask me #9 should be #1. ---

The Han Solo looks cool, but let’s face facts, it’s just a big statue. I’m a lot more impressed by the people who were able to build a working air conditioner or pinball machine out of legos. ---

I thought the knitting machine was the oddest. First, why would you want a knitting machine and second, one made from Legos? Do you wake up one day and say, “I’m going to make a knitting machine out of Legos today!”? All of these folks have too much time on their hands. But their stuff is really cool–I like the car and the air conditioner. I keep finding Legos here with my barefeet in the dark, so perhaps I’ll build something myself… ---

The Italian film _Ladri di Saponetti_ (The Icicle Thief) shows a kid starting to play with Lego on the living room floor. When we see him later, he’s built a scale replica of St. Basil’s Cathedral (Moscow) that takes up most of the room. To me, that remains the ultimate Lego creation I’ve ever seen. ---

> [@Crusoe](#): > > Easy winner: [the Lego Old Testament](http://www.thebricktestament.com/). The amusing part about the Lego Bible is the ratings. They’ve broken it down into ten different Biblical books, groups of stories, etc., and they rate them for nudity, violence, cursing, and sexual content. All ten have nudity and violence, and cursing and sexual content are found in most of the ten. This is no surprise to anyone who’s actually read much of the Bible, but clearly the Bible is a bad influence on good, wholesome Christians, who should be protected from it at all costs. ---

> [@Crusoe](#): > > Easy winner: [the Lego Old Testament](http://www.thebricktestament.com/). I think the part that amuses me most about The Brick Testament is that Adam is sporting some wicked Charles Bronson hair. Well, that and Lego Eve seems to have created an ancient push-up bra with her garland of flowers. And the prostitutes. They just crack me up, as I wasn’t aware Lego made career-wear. ---

Wow. I think out of everything, the difference engine blew my mind the most.
