\nThis Lego Calendar set needs some women. The town of Barbaria is nothing but dudes. Not only would it be nice to have a lovely woman help balance out the aggressive testosterone of the dudes, but the entire gene pool of the town will dry up unless Champ gets himself a date to the Barbaria Winter Ball (held on Christmas Eve). It’s simple math. <\/p>\n

Today’s item is not the much-needed double X chromosome. <\/p>\n

It’s a\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Gosh. I’m gonna need your help on this one, folks. <\/p>\n

Looking at the picture, my first thought was that it’s a stove. <\/p>\n

But that’s not a frying pan. It’s perhaps the best Lego accessory since Lego Fish. <\/p>\n

It’s a magnifying glass! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And it really works, too! Kind of. <\/p>\n

OK. So it’s not a stove and it has a magnifying glass. That leads me to believe it’s some sort of rudimentary crime lab. I’m not sure why a police officer would ever need an entire table to hold a magnifying glass, but maybe Officer Champ Gutpunch and Police Chief Pops are very lazy. (That would explain why the same criminal is on the loose every day.) <\/p>\n

What do you think it is?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It doesn’t really matter. It came with a magnifying glass! Today’s box could have given me eight molecules of pencil shavings and half a magnifying glass and I would have been happy. <\/p>\n

The people of Barbaria are enjoying their new toy.<\/p>\n

Day 14 Rating:<\/strong> 3.6 out of 4 (Points added because the magnifying glass is amazing and confusing Lego items are my favorite.)<\/p>\n

I will update this post if someone tells me I’m wrong and that what I think is a crime lab is really a sofa or a turtle hatchery or something. <\/p>\n
