How many LEGO® bricks would it take to stretch from San Francisco to New York? From Richard Dee: ! A little over 304 million bricks, assuming that you are stacking 2 high to attach them, and the distance were 3000 miles, and that the distance is over a flat plane. 2 (bricks high) x 12 (inches per feet) x 5280 (feet per mile) x 3000 (miles) / 1.25 (length of 2x4 brick in inches)

How can I make a LEGO bookmark? From Todd Lehman: ! To make a bookmark with the big red LEGO® logo at the top and cool LEGO imagery on the rest -- cut up a small LEGO box. For instance, I used an extra 6856 Planetary Decoder box: 
that I had sitting around, hacked it up with a scissors, and voila -- I now have 4 single-sided LEGO bookmarks (or 2 double-sided LEGO bookmarks if I go buy a glue stick and some laminating sheets).
