The Hobbit in 72 Seconds -in LEGO

(YouTube link)

You could invest nine hours or so into watching the The Hobbit movies (after waiting for the last one to be released in December), or you could watch the condensed version in this stop-motion LEGO video from BrotherhoodWorkshop. I tried to read The Hobbit about 40 years ago and couldn’t finish it. I haven’t seen any of The Hobbit movies, either. So I watched this and laughed because even at the breakneck speed of the condensed story, there was still time for jokes. Spoilers? I don’t know; I really don’t feel I’ve been spoiled watching this. One who knows mentioned in the YouTube comments that this was more faithful to the book than the Peter Jackson films. -via Geeks Are Sexy

Couldn't finish it? Really? I read The Hobbit several times before I finally waded through all three books of The Lord Of The Rings. You really ought to give it another shot. Pick up the version illustrated by Alan Lee; his drawings really add a lot to it.

BTW, happy belated birthday!

Rankin/Bass did a rather longer animated version for TV that is pretty faithful to the book, and even used Tolkien's lyrics for writing up the songs. (The main title theme is a rather sad exception.) Worth checking out if you're a fan.

An incubator for butterfly eggs and chrysalis... On the shelf you may store the chrysalis, while the butterflies may hatch inside the glass cabinet. The glass cabinet may protect the butterflies from being disturbed or eaten by birds or laboratoy cats...

In the bowel on the left buterfly food may be stored to be able to feed the newly hatched butterflies with honey or nectar.

This is cat liquor cabinet. Back before the pet prohibition amendment, you could drink alongside your pets. Small bottles of rum and scotch as well as mixers could be stored on the shelves with the "top shelf" stuff locked up in the right. The built in mixing/drinking bowl was an optional accessory to these cabinets.

Home smoking pipe storage and refill station. English gents would hang the hat on the bamboo, tap pipe ashes into the bowl, attractively display the pipe on the rack, and refill from the humidor on the way to the autobus the next morning.

Action Figure in the Cupboard Reeducation Camp. Select rebellious action figure or minifig from the display rack, place or hang inside the cabinet, lock door, wait for ensoulment. The figure can view reeducation videos or literature through the windows while inspirational recordings play through the four holed speaker. Threaten figures with a dip in the bowl of acetone if resistant. Drawer contains education materials and logbook.

This is a spatial sock retrieval device, for reclaiming your favorite stockings that were sent into oblivion by a washer. Simply put the required magical components (They're a secret!) into the bowl and crank the handle a few times. Your missing socks will appear hanging on the rack in a puff of rainbow-colored smoke that smells like bacon.

Howard Hughes, one of the world's richest (and most inventive) hypochondriacs, was famous for building "The Spruce Goose" a huge wooden seaplane. He simply loved wood! Hughes did not want his vast array of (pretty much useless) meds touched by any non-organic matter, so it was a no-brainer that he ordered his carpenters to construct this gravity fed pill dispenser, tonic mixer and ointment distributor out of wood.
