May 29 200946-Foot Long Self-Supporting LEGO Bridge
In an attempt to create the world's longest self-supporting LEGO bridge, a group of LEGOphiles in Australia have constructed this 46-foot long behemoth as part of the 2009 Australia Model Railway Expo. Now I'm not suggesting we start building real bridges out of LEGO, but I mean, we definitely should. And, to give you an idea of just how large this thing is, it's 46-feet. That's like ten of my penises laid out. Widthwise. Lad-- no?
Hit the jump for two more shots.

Jeezus GW, ten of them!? Who would've known...
While I generally don't care much for legos, that bridge is pretty impressive. I don't think I'd have the patience for building something like that, or the ability to stop myself from killing everyone in the room if it fell

This is the best definition of "Legoeroticism."
Legoeroticism - (noun). grown men erecting a Lego bridge and finds it sexually attractive.
legoerotic - (adj.) - when a Lego structure is very sexually appealing to grown men.

Is it just me... or does this make anybody else want to play World of Goo for a couple hours (of pure frustration)?

What? No video of it being made by little lego-people and their construction equipment? I want my money back.

This bridge is the proof that Australia is all the way down under.The bridge suppose to bend in the opposite way.

Just a couple more inches and they'll clip the ceiling fan. I hope they're wearing Friendlies Eye protection when that sucker goes...

Self supporting? Its been built, and standing proudly in the Perth Model Railway hall.....................But is being supported by 2 sets of ropes from the ceiling!
See the URL below. It shows the bridge at the show and the white ropes hang down to support it! So it failed the self supporting test!

Did anyone else notice that in all the pictures there doesn't seem to be a Lego's Batman fighting a Lego's Joker at the top of the bridge? -5 points for unrealism.
