Some of those "bricks" look like they have dove-tail joints !
(e.g., 1st guy's layer # 14 )

Your link says most bricks are 6-8 pounds, up to 12. And there are more than 4 bricks per layer - at least four by two, but some appear to have more, thinner bricks stuck in the cracks.

Foot3 is right. It's clearly a costume for a festival. Are the plastic straps inside a hard hat even strong enough to hold that kind of weight without breaking and bringing the hard hat shell down onto the skull of the wearer? And if they were real bricks, what sort of platform is the bottom layer sitting on? It has no thickness.

Some of the paint has even chipped off the second stack of "bricks" to reveal the white Styrofoam underneath.

The front left brick end, eleventh from the top, in the front stack, looks like it has come loose, exposing what was behind.

I took 4 lbs from...

Bricks are usually sold in “cubes” of 500 bricks. A cube weighs about a ton.

You're right (as was V). I was looking at it wrong, probably 8 per layer or about a thousand pounds... if it was real.

Ah. I was looking at:

A brick's weight is limited to what a bricklayer can repeatedly lift easily with one hand, perhaps 12 pounds, though most bricks are half to three-quarters of that weight.

Good to see you around, John!

You know, I was just thinking how awesome it would be to see a bunch of little monkeys on a capybara. It's like you read my mind.
