Last night, the boys, the bf, and I watched an episode of Mythbusters (the boys' current favorite). The episode featured the viral video of the giant Lego ball rolling down a city street. Here's the original viral video:

The viral video is like poetry in motion. I love the imagery and the inventive nature of the video. Of course, the bf (tech geek that he is) burst my bubble by explaining the fakery involved. Aside from that momentary dip in excitement, I still love the video.

So the Mythbusters decided to try and recreate the activity. I've included the inaugural launch of the 1 million piece Lego ball. Note how it ends --- Amazing! I thought the viral video was poetry in motion, but the Mythbusters clip topped everything.

In a way, I didn't want the crew to burst my excitement bubble. I wanted to have a great memory of a creative video. But finding out that the video definitely is not plausible didn't ruin everything. In fact, I think it made it more interesting. And the image of the ball exploding is too great to shut out.

Man I love Legos. And the boys were so enthralled with the episode, it was all they could talk about for the rest of the night. Great family time!
