Still Dumb ... But Learning

I try to learn stuff every week so I won’t be so dumb. This week I learned:

THE GREATEST TOY EVER JUST GOT GREATEST ... ER

If you remember Zack and what he was all about you’ll be the right age to know how awesome this is. Lego now has a way for people to submit possible toy lines.

    That’s not the cool part. This is:

The latest project to get approval is a Back to the Future Lego line. We’ll see the whole thing in 2013 but here is the contributor's proof of concept.

Hey, it’s not always super string theory or Kierkegarrd. At least I learned something.


SOME THINGS YOU MAY HAVE MISSED

Tonight is movie night! And we’re all watching Iron Sky at 10CST. Let’s all watch together.

We invited women and wives everywhere to tell us Why We’re Wrong.

Get your geek up with these essentials.

While you're at the geek thing, grab a ten-sided die and a case of beer.

We’re having a Big Dumb Book Sale. Everything is 2.99 or less.

We’re still looking for great sanctums to feature on the site.

It’s been a busy week. Thanks for reading and we look forward to watching the movie with you tonight.
