Second Giant Lego man washed up on Dutch beach
Posted Fri Aug 10, 2007 6:03am AEST

A second giant, Lego man has been fished out of the sea in the Dutch resort of Zandvoort.

Workers at the same drinks stall rescued the second 2.5-metre tall model, which had a skull head and skull picture torso.

"Here we go again I thought as we saw something bobbing about in the sea again and we decided to take it out of the water," said a stall worker. "It was another giant Lego toy, although this one was a bit creepier then the last"

A woman nearby added: "This is the second time this week that one of these has washed up. It is beginning to look like Easter Island around here."

The toy was later placed in front of the drinks stall next to the other. The worker added: "I am still waiting the thing to crack open and 1,000 little lego men to jump out and kill us in our sleep, like in that movie Troy."
