The scant remains of a pigeon in the churchyard at Steeple Claydon, Buckinghamshire. I guess due to a fox.
From latest wave of Chinese (SY) bootleg minifigures. This wave is great quality (relatively speaking) and you have to give them some credit for giving us some unique designs, some long wanted characters and great headgear.
This one is Galactus. This is my favorite of the 16 figures that came out in this recent SY wave. They even did a nice job on the face - his square-pupiled eyes showing perfectly through the helmet. The one on the right is how he comes. On the left, I swapped out for official Lego arms (SY arms have those broad shoulders).
We demolished the Maulers in the playoffs 7 - 1. It always feels good to beat them.
Doubly so in the playoffs.

Blessings on the lion if a human devours it, making the lion human.
Cursed is the human if a lion devours it, making the lion human.
Jean-Baptist Carpeaux
French, 1827-1875
Ugolino and His Sons, 1860, cast c. 1871
Bronze
The dramatic and macabra subject of this sculpture is based on a description found in Dante's Inferno, Ugolino, condemned to starvation, staves off hunger by devouring the bodies of his dead sons. The moment depicted is pregnant with tension and drama. Ugolino is in anguish as his sons desperately plead to sacrifice themselves rather than watch their father suffer. When the sculpture was made, the French Academy attacked Carpeaux's emphasis on the male nude, as well as the bizarre theme. The controversy around Ugolino boosted Carpeaux's career, leading to a number of prominent commissions and securing an ongion demand for reproductions of this work. A plaster version of the work is in the Reves Collection on the Museum's third floor.
