Elsa’s Ice Palace LEGO Set Needs Your Votes

Frozen has turned out to be one of the most popular movies Disney has put out in a long time. The films racked up big bucks, and the toys that go along with it have sold well. Over on the LEGO Cuusoo site someone has posted a blocky version of Elsa’s ice palace complete with minifigs and guardian snowman.

Designed by Fohzen L, the entire castle is modeled in blue parts that are translucent and it looks great. With the popularity of this film, I would think it could easily rack up the votes needed to become a reality pretty easily. Whether or not LEGO can get the licensing done to make it real is another story.

It would be great to see more LEGO sets aimed at girls. My daughter plays with “boy” themed LEGO sets all the time and thinks the LEGO Friends sets aimed at girls are “lame” so it would be great to see some other gear that is a bit more girly yet still cool from LEGO.

How the movie Frozen should have ended (Spoiler: Elsa joins the X-Men)

How the movie Frozen should have ended (Spoiler: Elsa joins the X-Men)

All anyone ever wanted to talk about for the past few months has been Frozen. It’s so fun! The songs are so good! We want to lip sync them! Disney Animation is better than Pixar now! And so on and so on. Was it really that good, guys? HISHE thinks it could have better. Or at least, different with this alternate ending where Anna and Elsa’s parents just don’t understand what the heck to do (and go to someone who knows very well how to help mutants).

Norway Cold Snap Freezes Fish in Their Tracks

It’s gotten ridiculously frigid here in Chicago, what with the recent Polar Vortex and colder than normal winter. But I’ve never seen anything like this scene, recently captured in Norway:

Apparently, when harsh winds caused temperatures over a Norwegian bay to drop to sub-freezing temperatures, the fish swimming close to the surface were flash frozen. While the air temperature of -7.8°C (~18°F) seems balmy by Chicago standards, it was enough to put the instant deep-freeze on the fish.

According to locals, the water and fish remain frozen, and the birds and whales will have a field day when the thaw eventually comes.
