Years have passed since Zarkon's invasion of Arus.
A team of Space Explorers approaches the planet. Young but determined, these explorers have been sent by the Galaxy Alliance on a special mission: to search for the secret of Voltron. The team of explorers consists of five brave young (brick)men:
Keith,
Pidge,
Hunk,
Lance, and
Sven. Together, with
71 hours of building, they form
Lego Voltron. From
work in progress to
cockpit details and
shoulder pin mechanisms, the photographed details are there to enjoy.
The builder includes credits to the
Teknomeka plans for the frame of the structure (
history of the plans,
models, and
another model) (

The Tsavo lions were made famous by the 1996 film
The Ghost and the Darkness. The stuffed trophies were donated to the Chicago Field Museum, where you can still see them today, in all their
maneless glory. Facinated by stranger-than-fiction stories out of Africa, like the lost tusks of Malima Temboz, the
Mountain that Walks.

The Guardian reports that George Bush Senior, along with Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf, Dan Quayle and a number of other prominent Americans are unhappy that Botswanan authorities have banned the
trophy hunting
of lions in that country. The number of lions in Africa has declined by 35,000 to only 15,000 in the last
10 years, but many wealthy Americans still see it as their right to pay big money to hunt a big cat. This just makes me sick

If this happened in the US, then the owners of the circus would be guilty of Manslaughter, at the very least, due to their negligence in not feeding the lions.
Of COURSE a starving lion is going to grab a kid; to a lion a human looks like lunch.
