A house made of nothing, but strictly legos was demolished on Tuesday. The house was made of 3.3 million lego bricks. The reason it was dismantled is because nobody wanted it. There were plans on moving it to Legoland in Windsor, but those speculations fell through due to very expensive transportation costs. Also his lego cat has been stolen. James May would like it returned so if you find it send it to the Top Gear Energy Centre in London.

Harry Potter Land


Universal Orlando has just announced something huge. They are going to release a whole new 20 acre Hogwarts. Who the people who don't know Hogwarts is the school that Harry Potter goes to. They plan on releasing 7 new attractions including little shops where they would sell those Harry Potter jellybeans and chocolate flavored frogs. Universal has just stepped up big because Disneyland doesn't plan on having any new releases for another 2 years. Disney is probably panicking on what they are going to do so except tons of new offers and deals for the upcoming 2 years.

Movies on YouTube


Youtube is rumored to become the next movie rental service. There are talks of being able to rent movies and watch them live on YouTube for 24 hours of time of purchase $1.99-$3.99 as many times as you want for 24 hours. It is coming along the lines of Netflix or Blockbuster. I personally think that YouTube will make a lot of money because of how many users there are all over the world.
