We’ve all done it. Even sharks know the exquisite pain of stepping unexpectedly on a Lego brick and feeling the agony that shoots up through your body. There are even special slippers to protect our feet from Lego-specific pain. Why are such sweet, fun little playthings out to kill us?

An interesting video posted on Saturday from Simon Whistler at the Today I Found Out YouTube channel delves into this very problem.

“As anyone who’s done it knows, stepping on a Lego block is something akin to being shot in the foot by a knife soaked in bullet-ant venom,” Whistler says. Pretty apt comparison, we say.

Woody Harrelson officially on board for Han Solo Star Wars film – CNET

 

Han Solo’s early years will reach the big screen with a little help from Woody Harrelson, the versatile actor who has appeared in films as diverse as “The Hunger Games” and “The People vs. Larry Flynt.” Variety reported rumors of the actor’s involvement earlier in the month, but StarWars.com offered an official confirmation on Wednesday.

We know very few details on the film, other than that it feature a young Han Solo, a role made famous by Harrison Ford dating back to the character’s debut in 1977. Actor Alden Ehrenreoch takes over the role, while Harrelson’s character could likely be a mentor figure, according to Variety’s rumor source.

“His ability to find both humor and pathos, often in the same role, is truly unique. He is also very good at ping pong,” said the film’s directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
