    AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A giant, smiling Lego man was fished out of the sea in the Dutch resort of Zandvoort on Tuesday.

    Oddly Enough

    Workers at a drinks stall rescued the 2.5-meter (8-foot) tall model with a yellow head and blue torso.

    "We saw something bobbing about in the sea and we decided to take it out of the water," said a stall worker. "It was a life-sized Lego toy."

    A woman nearby added: "I saw the Lego toy floating toward the beach from the direction of England."

    The toy was later placed in front of the drinks stall.
