A Giant Lego Map of Europe


You could go to Barcelona and Paris, make out with foreign strangers, and post lots of Facebook photo albums about it. Or, you could check out this enormous, 157 square foot Lego map of the continent. It’s at least cheaper.

The incredibly impressive “Euromap” was built with 287,800 bricks and half a year’s time. And because constructing a huge relief map of an entire continent wasn’t enough for the project’s creators, they decided to build miniature landmarks for each country too.

Stephen King on Talent vs. Success

“Talent is a dreadfully cheap commodity, cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work and study.”

–Stephen King (1947 – )
American writer, hard worker

So many great quotes are hidden within greater thoughts and passages. Here’s King’s complete thought from above (from his book Danse Macabre)…

"… talent is a dreadfully cheap commodity, cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work and study; a constant process of honing. Talent is a dull knife that will cut nothing unless it is wielded with great force – a force so great that the knife is not really cutting at all but bludgeoning and breaking… Discipline and constant work are the whetstones upon which the dull knife of talent is honed until it becomes sharp enough, hopefully, to cut through even the toughest meat and gristle."

King works. Fans… His latest book of short stories releases November 9th (Full Dark, No Stars).
