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.


Not so much a case of washed up but more like place on the beach by conceptual
artist:
