This Mustang is anything but ordinary: four-wheel discs, a decked-out trunk, and an electronic trunk popper. It’s over the top, built to turn heads, and a blast to drive. #Mustang#CarShows

Popularly known as the “Double Statue of Mephistopheles & Margaretta”, this sculpture is carved out of a single log of sycamore wood and has two distinct images on either side. It was acquired by Mir Turab Ali Khan (Salar Jung I), in 1876 during his travels in France.
The life-size sculpture depicts the haughty, evil Mephistopheles back to back with the gentle, meek looking, Margaretta.
Mephistopheles is clad in a hooded cloak, heeled boots and has a long face with a cynical smile (that will remind you of Voldemort) all things Evil; Margaretta on the other side has a prayer book in one hand, looks down and lost in love. The sculpture is a representation of two characters, from the famous German drama “Faust” (by Goethe).
The story of Dr. Faustus begins in Heaven where Mephistopheles makes a bet with God. He says that he can lure God’s favourite human being (Faust), who is striving to learn everything that can be known. The Lord permits Mephistopheles to tempt Faust and thus begins the tragic drama. Mephistopheles comes down to earth in the form of a travelling scholar, befriends Faust and by clever arguments excites his interest in sensual pleasures. Faust makes an arrangement with the devil: the devil will do everything that Faust wants while he is here on Earth, and in exchange Faust will serve the devil in Hell. Faust signs the contract with a drop of his own blood before setting out on a series of excursions with Mephistopheles.
The Mephistopheles and Margaretta statue represents the themes of good and evil, showcasing the contrast between the arrogant demon Mephistopheles and the innocent Margaretta. This duality reflects the central conflict in Goethe's Faust, where Faust's pact with the devil leads to tragic consequences.
BTW if you follow @cfbmarbles you get a nifty real time visualization of the marble transfer immediately following every FBS game.

Another week, another brightly colored Ferrari sold for eye-watering money.
The lovely green Ferrari Daytona SP3 sold for $18.54M, which is not only many times more than its owner paid for it, but nearly $9M more than another brightly hued SP3 which sold on the very same day. What gives?

The Supermarine Type 322 “Dumbo” was an experimental British carrier-based torpedo bomber featuring an innovative variable-incidence wing. Delays and the success of the competing Fairey Barracuda ended its development, but the prototypes later supported aircraft testing.
By this time, Fairey’s competing design, the Fairey Barracuda, had entered service, so the two Supermarine Type 322s were used for experimental purposes. In 1946, the company used R1815 to help test the low-speed handling of the Supermarine Attacker jet fighter.
