This is a great example of the American “can do” spirit Obama and the other anti-American Democrats don’t understand and will never be able to kill.

I see the entrepreneur of the year in Norway is some girl who “invented” a new social media site.

I think that means a new way of giggling.

One of those forehead slapping "now why didn't I think of that?" moments.

As a child of the late 60's early 70's, Colorforms were a big deal... Colorforms + Legos = $$$$$$.

This is a pretty good idea. I need to go read the entire article, but I figure, given the quality of Lego bricks, that any of the plastic cling-type stickers should work. It's kind of surprising that Lego doesn't use those, in retrospect. One problem is, that I've noticed prolonged exposure to sunlight cause them to fade. I noticed that the stickers on the "Speed racer" set really did not stick well, and the majority of it is peeling off my set. I actually considered getting my MIL to paint the designs on the Mach-5 and Mach-6.

This is much better, as you can complete a given model, then disassemble it without having to toss the stickers.

Sounds like he took something that was already invented and stuck it on something else that was already invented.
