About
A standard two-by-four Lego brick is a tiny plastic building block roughly the length of a postage stamp.
This standard two-by-four piece is one of hundreds of distinct shapes and sizes produced for building sets. It stands less than half an inch high, including the raised studs that lock into other elements. While individual bricks vary widely from thin flat plates to large baseplates, this core brick is small enough to fit several in a child's palm. Despite its tiny dimensions and light weight, the molded plastic structure is rigid enough to support hundreds of pounds of force.
From Wikipedia
Lego is a brand of plastic construction toys manufactured by the Lego Group, a privately held company based in Billund, Denmark. Lego consists of variously coloured interlocking plastic bricks made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) that accompany an array of gears, figurines called minifigures, and various other parts.
