History Built on Plastic Bricks and Clay

If all the history we ever needed to know about Boston could be condensed into four and a half minutes it would have to employ claymation and legos. And it does. Today's video is a clever animation of the Boston Tea Party – and events that led up to it. We won't attest to the accuracy of a snowball fight that preceded the Tea Party, nor the revolutionary war. But it could have happened. We get a bit more skeptical when Yoda shows up and the disco dancing commences. At least it killed another five minutes on the internets – we're that much closer to Friday at 5 pm and a long weekend.
