What could we build with all the LEGO pieces in the world?

Have you ever stopped to think that a lot of people in the world collect LEGO pieces, one of the most amazing ways for kids - and many big guys - to exercise their creativity? Yeah, the toy is really addictive and you're not the only one collecting its pieces, but after all, if we put together all the LEGO bricks in the world, what would we be able to build?

First, you need to know that 472 billion pieces have already been produced all over the planet, and even if we are not talking about life-size bricks, that number is actually very high. If 50, 000 LEGO pieces can build a 31-meter-high tower, imagine what 472 billion bricks are capable of. Imagined? So, follow a surprising list with all this material you could build:

• 46, 826 medium sized houses;
• 2, 972 White Houses, equal to that of the American government;
• 588 Taj Mahals;
• 200 Buckingham Palaces;
• 74 Empire State Buildings;
• 66 Burj Khalifas (the tallest skyscraper in the world);
• 1 Pyramid of Giza.
