The Trojan Horse is an episode from the Trojan War about the subterfuge that the Greeks used to enter the city of Troy and win the war.
After a 10-year unsuccessful siege, the Greeks built a huge wooden horse, which hid a force of soldiers inside. The Greeks whose fleet was supposed to sail far away, the Trojans pulled the horse into their city as a victory trophy. That night the Greek force slipped out of the horse and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army, which had sailed back under cover of night. The Greeks entered and destroyed the city of Troy, ending the war decisively.
Metaphorically a "Trojan horse" has come to mean any trick or ploy that causes a target to invite an enemy into a securely protected location. A malicious computer program that deceives users is also called a “Trojan horse”.

July 14 parade… In Lego!
July 14 in France is the national holiday, celebrating the storming of the bastille in 1789 and the end of the monarchy. Since 1880 it has been celebrated with a major military parade in Paris, and creates a day where the army is honored. Festi’briques, a French association for the promotion of Lego handover, took these photos of a giant diorama exhibited during one of their events. It’s beautiful, well done, and full of fun details. Can you find them? 🙂 Source: Festi’briques 00

Lego Titanic project
A magnificent project, which reconstructs the Titanic (or could almost speak of TitaBrick) with great attention to detail. The RMS Titanic was a British ocean liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning of April 15, 1912 after a collision with an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton, United Kingdom, to New York, United States. The sinking resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 passengers and crew, making it one of the deadliest commercial peacetime maritime disasters in modern history. Source: Juho Ruohola +20
