i swear i saw the guy eat a piece. in frame 3857.
Anyone else start humming the theme song for the Benny Hill show while watching this?

Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational /. battle station
Where did you steal my plans from?
I'll get you for this!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to change my pgp key.
These guys like their ice cream a little too much, they got down a whole entire bowl in 1 second flat.
These people spent 10 hours constructing their very own Imperial II-class Star Destroyer from LEGO...and we spent 10 seconds taking down any server brave enough to offer movies of it.
That's what I thought when they dropped all the bags on the table. I thought they were drugs :(
It looks really fun, however, it's from 2003. We're a little late, guys. There is a girl, though. I'm going to go watch it again.
I watched the video.
I couldn't help thinking that that was what I'd have been like if it wasn't for my girlfriend's constant vigilance...
I kept on looking for someone holding a gun to their heads but I don't think there were any.
Blearf. Blearf, I say.
omg i'm wearing that same AYBABTU shirt at the moment o_O
best part was when they ate, i felt like i was playing the Sims or something O_o
Do you know how many Bothans died for those plans? They damn well BETTER use them!
I watched the video, found it very amazing and interesting, and at the end was incredibly impressed.
Then, I watched it again, and this time I actually watched them build the ISD, rather than simply stare at the breasts on the RHS of the screen.
I once assembled some flat pack furniture in less than three days.
Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.
I saw a similar recording from a sweatshop in china.
:)
The video looks exactly like when chinese people assemble it, but they don't speed up the footage
...that red-headed geek at the top better lay off the ice cream. He's developing man-boobs.
This would have been far more interesting if:
....
-Get rid of the guy, add another chick
-Strip as they put the ship together
"Im drowning here, and you're describing the water!"
Indeed.. Three mirrors on a Slashdot story. That's gotta be some kind of record!

...and no Deathstar, either.
sorry..
I once built "Airwolf" out of standard Lego bricks. That was nice. Until my cat tried its "landing capabilities", off the bookshelf... oh, well..
Crivens! I kicked meself in me own heid!
Yes, you am.
This place is becoming a marketing heaven for Lucas.
Yes, it are.
Unfortunately, because I'm at work I've got Windows XP, which doesn't support playing back video.
Congratulations! You have first Windows XP-N post! Now go back to work.
If this is a Councillor ship, where is the ambassador?
*crunch*
*thud*
*clears throat*, excuse me? I just clearly watched a video of them doing it in less than five minutes. So that whole "record" thing is wrong ;)

Hate to reply again, but does anyone see this ironic? The day we're supposed to be blowing things up, we instead put Lego things together? Weeird..

I think the bigger news is that he convinced a woman to join him in this endeavour or maybe that he was able to concentrate on building a plastic replica toy after she agreed
Next week on slashdot: She how his little sister 'breaks the record'.
"Star Builder Destroyed Before Your Eyes"
Wondering why i am doing so strange posts? I am trying to get a "+5,Flamebait" or "-1,Insightful" rating.
Part of me is thinking, "These people must have no life. Imagine spending so much money on that."
But another part of me is going INSANE with jealousy.
Geeks don't RTFM on the first attempt!
Don't you mean idiots?
Your geek license has just been revoked. Be sure to turn it in before leaving the building.
Circumcision is child abuse.
Lucky for them they weren't building a stealth fighter in 2003. Think of the trouble they would be in now!

A navel ship? Oh yes, that would be cool!
The geek WAS the girl, and the bloke was her b/f
It's the girls site!
