Ian reckons a 2x4 rectangular brick would fail sooner, and a 1x2 brick could probably take a bit more.
Do you know one?
Well, I thought I might.
Duncan Titmarsh from Bright Bricks is an official Lego builder.
Oh, that's what I thought.
So I went to see him and his business partner, Ed Diamond, at their warehouse where they were putting the finishing touches to a big Lego structure for the tourists and shopping crowds at Covent Garden in London.
Do you think it would be possible to build a structure that was 3.5km high?
I wish you could see people's faces on the radio, because yours was a picture then.
I know.
Well, that's all the weight of numbers I think Wes can bear this week, but please keep your questions and comments piling in via moreorless at bbc.co.uk.
We can take the pressure, really.

I'm Ruth Alexander.
This week, could having long lie-ins kill you?
I try, although often fail, to get eight-hour sleep, which I always thought was the ideal.
Until I heard from Dr. Greg Jacobs, a specialist at the Sleep Disorders Center at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in the U.S.
So Greg believes that getting eight hours sleep a night might actually be bad for you.
Of course, we're all going to die one day.
So what's meant by increased mortality risk?
Well, it means you've got more chance of dying sooner rather than later.
