IKEA and LEGO to create Laceration Engines to bring about the Time of Folly.

Excuse me: they’re “teaming up.” …It’s funny. I love LEGO, and have a mildly positive reaction to IKEA; but LEGKEA fills me with an oddly specific dread. Perhaps it’s because I’m trying to imagine how painful an LEGKEA mutant brick would be to step upon.  Perhaps it’s because I’m terrified that the trend will now be for modular furniture (which is going to be less sexy than it sounds).  And perhaps it’s a premonition from my future self, warning me to stop the unholy convergence before it’s too late.

Hard to say, really.
