Staggeringly Amazing Church of Lego

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the cathedral-of-the-bizarre dept.

rcharbon writes: "This link brings you to yet another of the web's compulsive personalities. Almost 18 months in the making, the lego church is astonishing. Christened as a monument to dead cats, no less." I know we post Lego things often, but this is an amazing project from Groundbreaking ceremony to completion. I was especially impressed with the mosaic works. The artist also has a number of other Lego works to check out while you're at it.

      What would be really scary is if all the parisoners were identical -- white robes, no hair, maybe with a tub of KoolAid in the corner... (I had no idea Lego made so many different people)

      CERN Advisory: D/.DOS Attack

      Overview
      The CERN/CC has received reports of a new web DOS attack, called the Distributed Slashdot Denial Of Service attack. Rather than depending on exploits readily found in certain HTTP servers, this attack utilizes social engineering to bring down sites that appeal to the technically savvy. Within minutes of the target site's URL being posted on a publicly accessible web site, the target site is bombarded with connection requests. This can result in the complete blocking of even the most robust web farms.

      Workaround
      1. Don't put up a sight that is anywhere close to something considered "Cool", "Kewl", K3wl", "News for Nerds" or "Stuff that matters".
      2. Avoid techno-geek hot topics, including Legos, Mindstorm, Manga, Anime, and Beer
      3. Never, ever post anything complementary about Linux, or disparaging about Microsoft
      4. Never mention the name CowboyNeal

    > I got back into LEGO building after a twenty-year "dark ages" as a means of dealing with grief after my first cat, Murray, passed away in June, 2000

    Some people deal with their emotions, some go into denial, and some build lego cathedrals.

    I guess we should be more sensitive though, those must have been some cats and must have meant a lot to her.

    Really good work, though; astounding detail on the pews, lights, crucifix, lighting...
    I just hope she didn't actually entomb the cat there.

    PS: I now realise that it is not a guy, I just thought that such obsession is usually a guy thing.

    Sometimes, amongst the thousands of posts about how We hate Copy Protection, Lawyers Stink, I oppose the DMCCYAYYCCY Law Which Prevent me from Downloading Phr33 StUph, there is actually an article about News For Nerds with some cool pictures. I suggest that out of common courtesy, or compassion perhaps, Slashdot will kindly mirror sites with such pictures on the SlashCache, and have the Slashdot article refer to the mirror.
