Pop-up Legos

Okay I simply had to share this video of a pop-up Lego temple (the temple is Kinkaku in Japan, pictured below). I pulled it off of Epic Win. I'm not sure where they got it. This has to be the most amazing Lego structure every built. I'm completely in awe. Legos and pop-ups, two of my favorite things in one place. If you get a moment check it out. Watch until the end. Amazing.

Blessed Blocks

I've always thought that religious art was solemn and somber. At least it was in the Catholic church I grew up in. Marble statutes that stood on pillars, never touching the floor. It was very dignified and somewhat intimidating. So I'm not sure what to make of the Lego Jesus that was unveiled in Sweden yesterday. This life-size, 30,000 white block Lego statute will live in the Oenstra Gryta Church in Sweden. I'm not sure who all will be offended but I think it's great. I wonder if they blessed each individual block or the sculpture as a whole. Inventive sculpture. Who would have known that I'd actually like some religious art?
