Lego master contest

I saw the Lego animal entries of three contestants on TV today. Amazing what can be made of Legos. Have any of you been to Lego Land in the US or in Sweden? --- BBB

California's Legoland is part amusement park, part testimony to what you can do with interlocking plastic bricks when you put your mind to it. Its models include a life-size Shaquille O'Neal and a replica of Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras.

A six-person team of Model Master Builders creates and maintains the park's 5,000-plus constructions. If you think that sounds like fun, you're in luck: They're hiring. This week, Legoland reps embark on an eight-city tour to interview aspiring builders and conduct model-making auditions.

Candidates get 2,000 Lego bricks and 45 minutes to prove they know how to use them. Winners from each city will compete in the final at Legoland early next year.
