Those who didnt make it all the way through Nelson D. Schwartzs 2,700 word article on Lego in yesterdays New York Times Sunday Business section may have missed this gem of a factoid: Among the thousands of blogs and websites that cater to the toy brands grown-up fans is GodBricks, a blog about Lego creations that depict religious imagery.
