Florida authorities seize giant Lego man from beach

Florida authorities seize giant Lego man from beach

A 100-lb Lego man washed up onto the beach at Siesta Key, Fla., this week, baffling local residents.

Jeff Hindman told the blog Boing Boing that he snapped this photo of the fiberglass statue when he discovered it on the beach.

Curiously, this is not the only reported instance of a giant beached Lego figure on record. In 2007, a similar statue washed ashore in Holland, and a year later another one surfaced in Brighton, England. The statue is called "Ego Leonard," and his shirt reads "No real than you are." The statues are believed to be the work of Ego Leonard, who is described by one Lego fan website as an "enigmatic Dutch painter." It is perhaps worth noting that when one inverts the order of this character's name, employing just the first letter of the last name, he becomes a bit les enigmatic, since he then shares the name of the European manufacturer of the brightly colored interlocking plastic toys.

Sarasota County deputies took away the 8-foot Lego man and will hold on to it for 30 days. If no one claims the statue, they'll give it back to Hindman, who told the Sarasota Herald Tribune that he'll put it on E-bay.

They are coming. Be prepared.

All thats left is to wait for the final lego man of the apocalypse to descend upon the earth

I knew the apocalypse was missing something.Book of Revelations makes perfect sense now.

It has begun...

I don't think you're taking this seriously

It's a cool piece of art someone made. I star and flagged you. What else do you want?

Looks like he survived.

Zero Milligrams! That would be so cool to put in my front yard! My g/f and I just purchased a metal detector and we are going to comb the beaches next summer but wow! I never dreamed I could find anything like that. (I know it isn't made of metal silly) Wouldn't that just weird out your day as you walk along the beach?!

That's sick. I bet the MSM swept it under the plastic base.. I mean, the carpet.
