Ancient Italian Walls Repaired With Lego Bricks

Ubuntukitten writes "When some walls in Bocchignano near Roma started to erode, the perfect solution was found in Lego bricks (although some look suspiciously like Duplo bricks to me). FTA: 'At first I thought it would be a complicated procedure to fit the pieces, But as it turned out, the bigger plastic pieces were compatible with the smaller ones, and the Lego held itself in place without any glue whatsoever.' I like the effect. It's like the scene has been created on the holodeck but a few holoemitters are broken ..."

without any glue whatsoever

No, it looks like crap.

I agree COMPLETELY. The beautiful aesthetics of those LEGOs, ruined by those hideous stones.

The real surprise comes later

Just wait until the time comes for further repairs and he tries to take the "glueless" legos apart...

Modern technology triumphs!

[Puffy Director Pants]

Once again, the power of modern technology triumphs again, and building material like straw, sticks, clay bricks and yes, even gingerbread is shown to be obsolete.

Hahaha! Originally the bigger blocks were called 'stones', and that's what the building was made out of.
