<i>LEGO’s fake product of the day is clever, and something that actually needs to be invented: a vacuum cleaner that not only picks up bricks, but stores them by color and shape (and separates out dirt on the floor). Anyone who’s stepped on one of these in the middle of the night or who has a LEGO-obsessed child knows what I’m talking about.</i><p>It really does need to be made, and I’d pay anything for it. My nieces and nephews are crazy about LEGO, but our familys’ feed are not. I was sitting for them a few months ago, and I stepped on a brick, and stepped on it so hard that I fully expected it would have embedded itself to the bone.
