Although it's something we've never wondered ourselves, engineers at Open University in the UK recently discovered how high a LEGO tower can go before the bricks at the bottom are crushed under the weight. Here's a hint -- it's pretty darn high.

If you’ve ever wanted to own a custom-made Batcave, check out this gorgeous LEGO replica that was unveiled at the Emerald City Comic-Con earlier this year and drool in envy.

Will Superman Face Black Zero in 'Man of Steel'?

Other than the footage of 'Man of Steel' we saw at Comic-Con, and the two teaser trailers we saw featuring the voices of both Clark Kent's human father (Kevin Costner) and his Kryptonian father (Russell Crowe), we've still yet to learn the details about what major trials Superman will be facing in Zack Synder's movie reboot. Thankfully new information has seemingly been revealed from a source we all love so much -- LEGO!

As with 'The Avengers' and 'The Hobbit' promotions, LEGO leaked the names of their primary sets that will be sold as accompaniments to its corresponding films. This year, they revealed what can be expected from their 'Man of Steel' sets and may have, perhaps unknowingly, hinted at the possibility of another villain for Superman to face other than Zod.

I couldn't even begin to calculate the number of hours I spent playing with Legos as a kid. I still remember my first set: it was a gray and white spaceship with a cool little mini figure astronaut pilot. I was always fascinated with the precise way the bricks fit together to form the amazing vehicles, robots, and playsets.

This month Lego celebrates its 50th birthday.

Check Out This Lego Sub-Machine Gun That Shoots Lego Bullets [VIDEO]

Using only Legos and rubber bands, Jack Streat was able to build a fully-functional replica of a Heckler & Koch UMP 45 sub machine gun.

This is far from the only time Streat has fashioned a potentially dangerous thing out of Legos; he was able to build a working chainsaw out of the construction toys, and has a Youtube channel full of videos of other Lego weapons he has assembled.

The video for the UMP 45 is below. A Lego gun doesn't quite shoot with the same velocity or distance as a real gun, but if the TSA bans Legos from flights, you know who to blame.

LEGO Star Wars: Bombad Bounty

Pretty funny Lego Star Wars video, despite the fact that it stars Jar Jar. I may be the only Star Wars fan of my age bracket that actually liked the spunky Gungan.
