this is so beyond cool! Maggie, you should go over that beach and file a report.
for those who slept (or weren't yet born) through the U.S.'s painful attempt to switch to the metric system, 2.5 meters is a bit over 8 feet.
oh my god!!! That's GREAT!! I wish I could find something that cool!! Wow...and THAT would explain the picture that I saw on my milk carton this morning too! &:o)

I almost posted about this yesterday - lol - what an odd item to wash up on a beach
and "no real than you are"? hmmm
Are there any cold cases involving the mysterious disappearance of an 8 foot Lego Man? One doesn't just lose something like him.
