This guy made a paper plane out of his match ticket during a UEFA Nations League match in a stadium in Germany.

The result was unexpected

If you pitched this as a screenplay every studio would reject it for being too on-the-nose.

A 73-year-old architect walks to confession in 1926 and gets hit by a tram on the Gran Via in Barcelona. He's mistaken for a vagrant because of his worn clothes and left at a pauper's hospital. He dies three days later. His name is Antoni Gaudí. The cathedral he leaves behind is less than a quarter complete. The plans to finish it sit in his workshop as plaster models and detailed drawings.

Ten years after his death, in July 1936, FAI anarchists break into that workshop. They smash the plaster models. They burn the archive of drawings and calculations. They pry open Gaudí's tomb. For the next 50 years, architects piece together a destroyed playbook from photographs and broken plaster fragments.

The geometry was the real problem. Gaudí designed the church using upside-down hanging-chain models because the math for hyperboloid intersections did not yet exist on paper. He had solved it physically. Computers finally caught up to him in the 1980s. By 2010 the project was 50% complete. By 2015 stone elements that took months to hand-carve were being modelled digitally and machine-cut in days.

Now the kicker. The building is funded entirely by people paying admission to see scaffolding. €134.5 million of income in 2025, all private, none of it from the Spanish state or the Vatican. About 4.7 million tourists a year buying €26 tickets to watch a cathedral get built. The unfinished state was the product.

On June 10, 2026, exactly 100 years to the day after Gaudí died, the cross goes up on the Tower of Jesus Christ. 144 years from groundbreaking. 172.5 meters tall. The tallest church building in the world, beating Ulm Minster, which took 513 years.

When asked why his project was taking so long, Gaudí said one thing: "My client is not in a hurry."

Turns out neither was he.

This transformation of garbage is absolutely insane.

For those wondering if we can trust this new 1:59:30 marathon world record by Sabastian Sawe since there have been so many Kenyan runners caught doping and using performance-enhancing drugs in recent years...it’s always hard to have 100% certainty, but credit to Sabastian Sawe, his agency and his sponsor (adidas) for doing their best to be transparent.

Some context for folks: Adidas included a budget in Sawe's contract to provide funds to the sport’s anti-doping organization (the Athletics Integrity Unit) of about $50,000 to test him. Basically, they wanted to prove he was clean, as there was growing confidence that he would break the marathon world record of 2:00:35 set in 2023 by the late Kelvin Kiptum. They also wanted to avoid the doubt of Ruth Chepngetich breaking the women’s marathon world record in 2:09:56…and then having that skepticism validated when she tested positive for a banned substance.

Sawe was reportedly drug-tested 25 times (this included blood and urine) in the space of two months in the lead-up to last fall's Berlin Marathon and that’s a pretty high number. He was not tested as frequently before this race but his coach Claudio Berardelli confirmed that the Athletics Integrity Unit sets the testing regimen and that he is on a higher frequency of testing than other athletes in 2026 because of the additional funding being provided.
