This deathtoy is built complete from Lego bricks, except for a "piece of string" and refill bottle of butane. And you thought Legos were just a choking hazard.

When the Gizmodo staff goes postal, this will definitely be our weapon of choice. Hit the jump for 7 seconds of the sweetest video you've ever seen...today...unless you may have seen something better this morning...in which case you've had a pretty good day. – Mark Wilson

The LEGO flame thrower is still tops on our list, but if you wanna leave behind a few creepy journal entries before you go ballistic with your homemade flame thrower, may we suggest you leave them behind on this PC. Built by Art Levine, the PC's got strobe lights and its own liquid-cooling system. Check out the vid for the full tour.

This Lego Branded Bosch dish washer runs a special 104 degree cycle for rinsing away the dirt, grime, saliva, mud, bacteria, ebola, cooties, asbestos, lead paint chips, rat poison, peanut butter and jelly, and cigarette tar off of kid toys without melting the plastic. I gotta go wash my hands now.

There's even a special tray for Lego bricks. (Jump for a photo)

PS, that brick isn't really painted on the washer front.

[Per Elmdahl] sent along this one. I usually go for weaponized Legos, but who doesn't like cake?

Look at it serving diligently, not even a whimper or a grumble. Sure, you'll be sorry a few years from now as it bakes a cake from the remains of human civilization, but isn't it so cute in the fleeting present? The Lego CakeBot was built by Niclas and Isak for a birthday party and does its job well -- if only those kids knew the far reaching destruction that will soon be caused by their innocent little creation. Peep the video after the break.

We've seen a whole lot of good things come from the creative minds of Lego builders and those Mindstorm kits that fuel them, but we can't say anything has been quite as visceral as this 2007 DivX Lego Sumo Robotic Championship. Bots compete head to head, ramming each other out of the ring -- or more often than not, blindly searching for an opponent to ram. Seven bots competed in the second round of the fights, and "No Screwdriver Needed" was on the scene with play-by-play video and snarky commentary. Our personal fave? "The Bird," which attempts to fool its opponents into climbing over its deployed wings. Who knew Legos and subterfuge mixed so well?
