The Chapel: a tribute to an atmospheric, derelict protestant temple in Zeliszów, Poland, designed by the Prussian architect Carl ‘Brandenburg Gate’ Langhans, built 1796-1797.

Shot in timelapse HDR, which gives the chapel’s interior an ethereal CGI appearance, the short was directed and edited by Patryk Kiznyny at Looky Creative.

Currently doing the rounds of the blogniverse is the salutory tale of young Jack Weppler: an aspiring actor who recently broke up with his girlfriend.

She didn’t take it at all well.

In fact, she visited a spectacular online bunny boiler on him, spamming macro’ed images of his headshot to the point where a typical Google search for Weppler revealed the results you see above.

In a message since removed from the Google Helpmaster Forum, Weppler’s distraught mother complained;

My minor son’s ex-girlfriend took a copyrighted picture of him (we own copyright) and uploaded it more than 60 times to a website. On each image she wrote slanderous, defamatory and pornographic captions. The webmaster of the site states he removed the images 6 weeks ago, but Google Search still shows all the images. My son is so stressed out and embarrassed and we’ve done everything we can to get images off of Google including URL removal tool, a letter to Google Legal with all the URLs because of copyright infringement, and nothing has worked!

The cache is still stubbornly in place. Even now, Wepplers’s Google search results still look like this.

So. No chance of you kids patching things up before Valentine’s, then?

Prepare to feel chilly by proxy. On the frozen waters of Sandefjord in Norway, a local loon shows an alarming disregard for hypothermia. And clothes.

As host of last weekend’s Saturday Night Live, Dana Carvey gave Wayne’s World fans a rare treat by convening a long overdue reunion with Mike Myers. The pair first appeared on the show as Wayne and Garth on SNL in the late 80s.

Myers is 47. Carvey is 55. If you squint, neither one appears to have aged a day.

Self-confessed ‘comic book and Lego geek’, Julian Fong has created an extensive set of DC heroes and villains in Lego minifig form. Sez he:

“It started out with deciding that the current line of official Batman minifigs sorely needed a Harley Quinn (given that Joker, Poison Ivy and Catwoman were represented) — so I built one. Then, in typical fashion, it quickly spiraled out of control after surveying the rest of the DC comic book universe.”

None of these minifigs are official yet. You want to get on that, Lego.

Full Flickr set here.
