Actually, it’s a 9,500 brick model of the ATLAS particle physics experiment at the LHC in CERN built by scientist Sascha Mehlhase. We’ve mentioned it before.
But you knew that.
If the 10,000+ upvoters at the LEGO beta-bulding site cuusoo have their way, it may yet make it into the official LEGO range.

The Red Van pro-life man outside The Life HQ, Capel Street, Dublin, this afternoon.
When he’s not pulling pro-choice posters down.
He’s taking delivery of palettes to carry all the pro-life ones off the back of a van owned by a charity dedicated to Romanian orphans.

The release today by the Central Bank of Ireland of mortgage arrears figures continues to defy the prediction by Michael Noonan that the economy could take off like a rocket:- unless of course he meant a Saturn ROCKET!!
On a related note – here’s a “Scary image of the day – how underwater are the mortgage books of the Irish banks?

A reward is being offered for the safe return of a three-foot high ‘Culture Duck’ which has gone missing from the Everglades Hotel.
The Culture Duck, which “lived” on the piano in the hotel foyer, went missing this week.The duck – a talking point for guests and visitors to the hotel – was created to celebrate Derry’s City of Culture status.

Apparently, the real challenge was finding somewhere to land afterwards.

Jess who made a mad dash for freedom ran off from her owner Jaimie last night, resulting in a fraught dawn post on Broadsheet, is safe.
We have no idea where she’s been.
Jaimie writes:
I got Jess back! She was handed in to the vets on Charlemont Street [Dublin]! She is fine, happy as ever and acting like everything was cool all along. Thanks to all the kind and wonderful people who helped us look for Jess today. The community around where we live really were amazing. Thank you all so much…especially the kind man who found her and delivered her safely!
It seems that our old comrade Pat,
Has finally concluded that,
Some people’s ambition,
Has ruined our mission,
And that isn’t where his heart’s at.

The RUC George Cross Widows Association has called for a halt to plans to build a peace and reconciliation centre at the site of the former Maze prison. They addressed their plea to Northern Ireland First Minister Peter Robinson.
Mr Robinson’s DUP colleague Jeffrey Donaldson, who is MP for the area, said he could guarantee that “there will be nothing in the new peace centre that will glorify terrorism”. “I put on the uniform of the Crown to fight against the IRA, I had members of my family circle murdered by the IRA,” Mr Donaldson told the programme. “I am not going to stand over anything that would glorify the actions of the IRA in any sense whatsoever.”
Meanwhile, 50 yards from the entrance to the former prison is a shrine (above) to UDA/UFF prisoners.
