In Hannover (northern Germany) some Lego guys are trying to build the highest Lego tower with help of anyone who comes along: old record is 25.20 meters. These guys plan to build it 50 cm higher (more is not allowed, since Lego wants to do a lot of further record events...). Here you can find two pictures of this tower (15 m high so far): http://www-public.tu-bs.de:8080/~rbeneke/lego/temp/spitze.jpg http://www-public.tu-bs.de:8080/~rbeneke/lego/temp/tw_ben.jpg Regards, Ben
