Why, build a level three Menger Sponge, of course! What the heck is a Menger Sponge?

It’s a cube with the center of each face removed. And like other building blocks, individual Sponges can be clustered and built into larger ones. This one is 150 lbs and uses no glue or anthing other than the business cards to hold its shape.

7 Legged Lamb born in New Zealand via Digg

Quite a shame, really. The lamb was born with seven legs, making it a polydactyl. However it was missing part of its bowel and had to be euthanized.
