On the lighter side of things in the world, an amputee built herself a leg out of Lego. It's nice to see people enjoying life like this, taking a light-hearted approach to a devastating thing that happened to them (I believe she was in some sort of accident).

 

"She is now the first person in history to be happy to step on a Lego"

Haha thats awesome! 

That is the most hard thing ever. Is it bad to say that makes me wish I was missing a body part. I want a Lego face.

i want a Bionicle claw hand

What a great story! Thanx for sharing.

LOL that wouldn't work for me. It would be like Edward Scissorhands, except your face would have a bunch of Lego logo imprints on it from scratching yourself. I would probably end up accidentally choking myself while brushing my teeth.

That's cool.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

This is the most incredible, heartwarming Lego project I've ever seen! http://www.thebrickfan.com/christina-stephens-lego-prosthetic-leg/

Sorry for bothering you again about thread merging, but there is a thread on the exact same topic.

It was pretty cool though.

I searched and couldn't find it, sorry.

Yah. Exact same one, so we can merge.

I love to merge threads!

That's ok dude. At least you tried! :thumbsup:

Seriously guys, stop calling thread merges.  It just sours the mood of a thread and shifts discussion away from the topic.  Leave it to the mods.  Like IrishGuy said earlier, it just looks like you're trying to prove that you can be good mods.  End of rant. 

 

Cool project though!

The only reason why I mentioned it was because their was another thread with the exact same topic as this one. For the LEGO jokes thread it made sense to me to have it moved because we had LEGO jokes in the other thread as well. (The jokes thread got merged BTW.)

I know Irishguy66 and DNIIM apologized and I have accepted those apologies. I just feel like you didn't have to bring this discussion up again.

No hard feelings, right?

Thread has been merged. 

 

It's time to stop the "merge thread" argument.  It's tired, and not worth the time it takes for anyone to read it.
