Wait, is the "Cameron" thanked in Josh's (funny as usual) write-up our very own Cameron??

 

I'd like to see a movie of that, sounds cool.

No, that is not me. But Im sure that guy, and whatever he did, must have been the coolest. :) If anyone finds a movie of this, let us know. I'd love to see it as well.

 

I saw this posted below the story too:

 

Hate to nit pick, but the plural of Lego is Lego.

 

Is it really?

Actually, that is correct in the sense that the plural of Lego is not Legos. But Lego as plural isn't correct either. When referring to LEGO (should be all capital letters, btw) it should be used as such: LEGO block or LEGO blocks. "LEGOs" isn't correct... according to LEGO the company.

 

There used to be a section on their website that explained this, but I can't seem to find it. I only know because I did some work with LEGO Mindstorms in college (as part of a senior project :tu: ) and had looked up the information for use in the accompanying paper.

 

Doesn't mean I'm not as guilty as everyone else of calling them LEGOs. ;)

Christ almighty if I didn't receive tons of emails correcting me about the proper plural for "LEGO." I'm leaving it up as is just to annoy the LEGO maniacs of the world. :twisted:
