LEGO Fire Skull: Fewer Bricks Than You Might Think

Bricks aren’t the only neat buildables offered by LEGO. The LEGO flame attachments have their own little sub-culture of fandom, as seen through this awesome LEGO Fire Skull built by resident LEGO pyro Billy McGill.

Medical Oddities Anatomy Pop-Up Book for Children

“Medical Oddities, Natural Anamolies and Carnival Gaffs: A Pop-Up Book for Children” probably would have scared the hell out of me when I was a kid.
