The End Is Nigh

Be afraid. Be very afraid. From Reuters:

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A giant, smiling Lego man was fished out of the sea in the Dutch resort of Zandvoort on Tuesday.

Workers at a drinks stall rescued the 2.5-metre (8-foot) tall model with a yellow head and blue torso.

"We saw something bobbing about in the sea and we decided to take it out of the water," said a stall worker. "It was a life-sized Lego toy."

A woman nearby added: "I saw the Lego toy floating towards the beach from the direction of England."

The toy was later placed in front of the drinks stall.

What does the shirt mean? Is it some kind of code? Anagrams range from the banal "Uh, anyone a realtor?" to the sinister "A royal eon haunter." Only time, and perhaps more Legos, will tell. Let's just hope our plastic friend isn't the first stage in some kind of invasion. Not all Legos are as friendly.
