Forbidden LEGO
If you've ever felt like using your LEGOs for more than just building static objects, this is the book for you. Forbidden LEGO: Build the Models Your Parents Warned You Against ($17) is a book full of unauthorized LEGO projects, such as a toy gun that shoots LEGO plates, a candy catapult, and a continuous ping-pong ball launcher. Written by a former LEGO senior designer and former LEGO senior product manager, it's the ultimate how-to for building rogue LEGO creations. [via]
