<p><strong>Rolling in his grave. </strong>Antoni Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia, Barcelona architectural icon, is famous for two things: being a masterpiece and being unfinished. Now, 125 years after building began, a group of Spanish intellectuals are <a href="http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/visual_arts/architecture_and_design/article5289525.ece" target="_blank">saying it looks crap</a> and has betrayed Gaudi’s vision (sort of like the extensions to the Sydney rail network, in a way). Will it ever be finished? Only if Spanish bureaucracy says so…</p>
<p><strong>Rolling in his grave #2.</strong> Artist Francis Bacon told a barman that he wanted to be put into a plastic bag and thrown into the gutter when he died. Well, his artist friend Catherine Shakespeare Lane decided to do something about that. Check out the slightly creepy results at <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2008/dec/07/francis-bacon-art" target="_blank"><em>The Guardian</em></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Some people just have dirty minds.</strong> If you look at this picture and see anything but the love of Jesus then so do you. The cheeky <a href="http://twitpic.com/qzpy" target="_blank">Stephen Fry</a> took the snaps, with the words &#8220;looks a if this church window needs replacing&#8221;.</p>

<p><strong>Wine wankers. </strong>Ever wondered how the experts pick from wine lists at fancy restaurants? Hint: they don’t just choose the second cheapest bottle. There’s a whole artform to “reading” a wine list, and those who unlock the secrets will reveal no less than a window to the restaurant’s soul. <a href="http://tablematters.com/index.php/bottle-sections/pg/pglist?ed=5" target="_blank"><em>Table Matters</em></a> tells.</p>
<p><strong>Iceland melting.</strong> From the serious corner, this excellent map from <em><a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200812/map-iceland" target="_blank">The Atlantic</a></em> shows an illustrated timeline of the destruction of Iceland’s economy, in 10 simple steps. There is a cute little picture of Santa on it though. Read and learn.</p>
