Brick artist Nathan Sawaya is the autohr of this amazing anatomical heart:
“I created an anatomically correct human heart for the Rady Children’s Hospital of San Diego. A piece like this is a great tool to help doctors talk to young patients about their own hearts.

Returning soldiers were committing murder at a rate 20 times greater than other young American males.
