This was mentioned here before, and not by myself, but a good point would be
that the classic 2x4 brick is approximately the same proportion as a common
clay brick.

common brick = 3 5/8 x 7 5/8 x 2 2/3
lego brick = 16 x 32 x 9.6

Ahh... No wonder the classic 2x4 just looks so... natural to the eye.  It's
because we've seen thousands of the common brick in our everyday lives.

Thanks for your input, John.
