Berg poses with his work of art which is displayed right where his model is patterned. Adorable.
The model. I hope he builds one based on our house.
Freak of the Week : King of Cards
It took this architect 44 days to build and break his own Guiness World Record of the biggest house made of completely nothing but plain playing cards. Bryan Berg, who is just insanely talented, used 218,792 cards to produce a replica of the Venetian Macau. Sweet. [via Daily Mail UK]
To the Battlefield
I still might be unable to blog regularly in these remaining days of the month, because I have lots of real business to deal with, including battling it out to make it back to my old academic condition.
So, blog posts will be as scarce as diamonds, but Freak of the Week entries won't be missed. See you when I see you.
Freak of the Week : Hussein's Palaces
With Saddam Hussein being dead for a while now, and him being a freak of nature when it comes to accumulating assets, there's no doubt that there will be some of his belongings that will be left behind. And the American soldiers have been very resourceful, using Hussein's palaces as temporary shelters.
After Hussein was forced out of his ruling supremacy, the US Army moved their headquarters in Al-Faw Palace in Camp Victory, which is pictured above. Some of the photos after the cut, and the original article at the end of this sentence. [via WebUrbanist]
Nail of Christ's Crucifixion?
A nail dating back from the time Christ's crucifixion was found in a remote fort that was once believed to be a stronghold of the Knights Templar. A nail was found and was believed to be used by the Roman empire in their thousands of crucifixion, dating back in the days.

Archaeologists say that due to the nail's astounding condition of safekeeping, it might be an important relic after all. Now that would be awesome. [via Telegraph]
Freak of the Week : Best Fossil Ever
I've seen plenty of fossils myself, well at least on TV screens and on rare times, in person. The T-Rex's fossil used to be my favorite, especially when it was given life in the movie Night at the Museum. But now, this is my new favorite. [via National Geographic News]
Armadillo fossil? Nope. This is an ancient crocodile fossil
found is Sao Paolo, Brazil. Awesome.
Auto Tune the News
If our congress sessions works just like the way this video works, with all the singing and Auto Tuning, I'll likely file my certificate of candidacy when the time comes. By the way, the lyrics of the song are really what they are talking about when they were in session. Nice, neat job right here. [via mental_floss]
Boyet in Wonderland
I haven't been posting a lot of stuff lately mainly due to a very stuffed schedule that hinders me to do extensive researches. Despite of that, I have been very obsessed of the thought of buying an action figure that can be posed, then snap a few pictures of it.
So I went to the nearest Toys-R-Us, looked on the shelves, and found my new companion, who I named Boyet. He's a G.I. Joe character, but I don't know him because I haven't watched that not-so-recent film. So my new time-waster is here. Whenever I have time, I will be posting a new pose of Boyet. See you next time.
