Alan Lopuszynski over at Burbanked linked to Linus’ recent post about robbed’s Terminator head and asks an interesting question I’d like to put in front of TBB readers:
Impressive? Absolutely. Yet it begs the question: were people this creative before the Internet offered an outlet with which to showcase their efforts? Because in our youth, we were lucky to construct a rocket car out of Legos that actually looked like it was capable of rolling down the upstairs hallway. We have to wonder, had we the benefit of the self-affirming effects of a blog and complimentary comments from people all over the world, whether things might have turned out quite differently in life.
So, dear readers, what do you think?

The Empire vs. the Rebellion. Mordor vs. Gondor. Tom vs. Jerry. The most interesting conflicts are always fundamental struggles between good and evil. Markus Lütkemeyer (aka Helico) gives us a classic pair in “Good vs. Evil”:
