This is an oldie, but a goodie, and worth sharing again. This cheeky Velociraptor terrorises good natured shoppers in a centre in Melbourne. The so-called handlers really don’t have much influence on the beast at all. Above all, this is an amazing piece of pupperty. I couldn’t hear a single engine, so I don’t think […]

LEGO is a brand with an incredible family story attached. August the 10th, 2012 was LEGO’s 80th birthday. This video is about 20 minutes long but I found it very easy to watch. It tells the story of the carpenter who started LEGO, where the name came from and how the LEGO brick system was […]
