Huge Lego Man Washes Up On Florida Beach
Wired writes that for the third time in recent years, a gigantic Lego figure has washed ashore on a coastline in the Northern Hemisphere. Artist is unknown. Below, video of a similar occurrence in Holland. Damn you, Lego man, for making me confront my own emptiness!

In 2007, an almost-identical creation was found in the Netherlands. Another turned up in England the next year.
