I just came across this mind-blowing reconstruction of the #Pantheon … in Lego. Not only does it accurately reflect the architecture, but it reconstructs everything with suggested polychrome decoration. The statues are ‘painted’, as are parts of the architecture. Bravo! 👏 🏺

The famous guitar riff for Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child o' Mine" originated from a "circus melody" warm-up played by guitarist Slash during a 1986 jam session.
While Slash played the riff in a joking manner, bandmate Izzy Stradlin recognized its potential, and the band built the song around it.

So today I sold some books to Pierce Brosnan, which made up for working a Sunday. I NEARLY made it past the casual “how not to be awks around a celeb” thing when my colleague said “ooh, you look familiar?”. He said “Bob. James Bob. I’ve saved the world four times”.
