I dare say I've actually been inspired by <A href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/lego-blocks/" title="Click here to read more posts tagged LEGO BLOCKS" rel="nofollow" class="autolink">Lego blocks</A> this morning, and, quite possibly, these classic scenes from human history could make self-described fanatic Jesus Diaz weep—just a little. There's Jeff Widener's 1989 photograph of "The unknown rebel" at Tiananmen square; and Joe Rosenthal's 1945 photograph "Raising the flag on Iwo Jima"; and—especially poignant for this soccer player—even Maradona's infamous "Hand of God" goal from the 1986 World Cup. For something so toy-like to be so inspiring and thought-provoking  is a testament to the creator, a Flickr user known simply as Balakov. A plastic hat tip to you, sir.
