If you step on it or sit on it somehow, God be with you...

Yes, I know it's an ad but it's just too damn cool not to share. Sugru, hackers' favorite silicone-based hardening clay, has innumerable uses to enhance, repairs or improve your favorite... well, anything. Yesterday the company released this promotional video showing off what can be done when it's combined with the world's most popular building block. I have no idea what I would do with it, but I want a ton of the stuff.

From the submitter:

My new video card is rather LARGE, and there was only one slot on the motherboard which could accomodate it. It's VERY close to my sound card (which also cannot be moved), and I noticed a strange "ping..ping..PINGPINGPING" sound coming from the case. All the heat generated inside was making the entire video card warp slightly (this only occurs when playing Fallout 3 with LOTS of mods) and the fan was coming into contact with some of the solder points on the sound board! Yikes!

He had problems with overheating so he decided to fix it with little pieces of plastic? This should end well.

Eric Streenstra has created quite the paragon of green energy. And yellow energy. And blue energy. And red energy. You get the idea. This go-kart is still able to... well... go, while being made almost entirely out of LEGOs. I just hope that doesn't include the pedals. I think you know why.

Bonus points if you can work in it this way. ~Not-So-Handy Andy

The Monty Python foot is not gonna be happy when it tries to step on this.

User Erkkaheero says that, naturally, this was seen in Aarhus, Denmark.

"Guests were already arriving and I had no hook in the ceiling from where to hang a bag/net to hold the bag from the bag-in-a-box. Over the edge of the table you say? Sure, if I could afford dry-cleaning everyone's pants and dresses (those spouts are as leaky as an old dog). Luckily there's always LEGO!"

This wine stand serves a two-fold purpose in my opinion. First and most obvious, it's super useful. Second, the Legos are nostalgia-inducing so it'll put all the guests in a good state of mind for when they inevitably get plastered. WIN-WIN if you ask me!

Somehow, you will still manage to step on this piece.
