My co-worker, J, from Kenya, knows Lupita Nyong'o!
Very cool!
I was wondering if my niece does, too. They went to Yale at the same time, and Susanna was involved with everyone and everything that was African, because it was part of her degree. I texted her and haven't heard back (she may not even have the same number anymore)
Cool, but I wish they'd put in some photos with people in them, for scale. Because looking at the scaffolding etc, the blocks look big, but not Stonehenge big. But they say each T-shaped pillar is 40 to 60 tons. I think they're off by a factor of 10.

This and Puma Punku are my favorite sites that I would love to visit someday. I personally believe that there are many other undiscovered ancient sites that far predate lamestream archealogists party line. Possibly even hundreds of thousands of years and no I don't prescribe to the ancient aliens theory though it makes more sense than religion and traditional history.
"...This miniature model of a Boeing 777 (an Air India 777-300ER, to be specific) is the obsessively-awesomely-detailed work of Luca Iaconi-Stewart, who has been working on the project for 5 years using… wait for it… nothing but manila folders and dabs of glue. But look closely, it may be made of paper, but this jetliner is nearly as complicated as the real thing. The doors open and close on paper hinges, the landing gear retracts up into the fuselage. It’s astonishing..."
holy crap.

Wow - that was fun!!!!
That guy makes it look so easy. I can't believe the whole dismount straight up in the air while his bike goes under the board and then landing back in the seat so gracefully.
Indeed, though the "out takes" at the end made the process look painful!

I think someone's embellishing.
