Bored with your office? Then why not follow the example of Ben Brucker, who jazzed up his workplace with giant superhero murals made from Post-It notes.
"One day I just got so tired of how sterile and boring our office felt, I thought I should do something about it," Brucker explained.
Brucker's colleagues sacrificed an entire weekend to realised a project that required 9,000 Post-Its in total.
Oscar-winning film composer Alexandre Desplat is to receive the BMI Icon Award next month.

Art meets activism
Zanele MuholiCopyright: Zanele Muholi
Zanele Muholi, one of the nominees for this year's £30,000 Deutsche Borse Photography Prize, specialises in portraits of lesbian and transgender women in South Africa.
Muholi's subjects have harrowing stories to tell about the hate crimes, sexual violence and stigmatisation they have suffered, stories that form part of her work.
"I deal with painful material," she told broadcaster and journalist Bidisha. "I'm an artist who uses visuals for activism to deal with the many political issues that affect human beings."
Tina Fey's composer husband has confirmed that the Mean Girls musical they are writing together should be finished this summer.
But Jeff Richmond said there would be "a lot of rewriting" on the piece before it comes anywhere close to a stage.
Fey wrote and appeared in the 2004 film that saw Lindsay Lohan (pictured above with Fey), Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried form a clique of mean-spirited high-schoolers.
Iceland's participation in the Eurovision Song Contest could be in doubt because of an ongoing legal strike.
Notaries who work at the Reykjavik District Commissioner's office have traditionally overseen and verified the voting process of Iceland's professional Eurovision jury.
But employees are currently on strike, along with other legal professionals, over a wage dispute, and there is no sign of the industrial action ending in the near future.
Iceland, which has never won the contest, is due to be represented by Maria Olafsdottir (pictured) in Vienna next month.
The production team behind the BBC's landmark wildlife programmes Blue Planet and Planet Earth is migrating to Netflix for its next venture.
Our Planet will take viewers "into never-before-filmed wilderness areas from the ice caps and deep ocean to deserts and remote forests", according to the streaming service-turned-production powerhouse.
Like Planet Earth, which was five years in the making, Our Planet will presumably require a lot of very patient cameramen to sit in the freezing cold.
The eight-part series is due to have its premiere on Netflix in 2019.
Soundgarden front man Chris Cornell has waded into a legal battle between a record label and a studio boss over the master tapes of a genre-defining album that he made with members of Pearl Jam.
Cornell recorded Temple of the Dog at London Bridge Studios in Seattle with singer Eddie Vedder in 1990.
A&M records is suing Raj Parashar, who co-founded the studio with his late brother, demanding Parashar turn over the recordings.
The label says it bought the album - and the tapes - in 1991. In a statement issued on Tuesday, Cornell agreed.
For Parashar "to pretend he has a right to keep the recordings," he said, "makes no more sense than the owner of a laundromat claiming he owns the clothes you washed in his washing machine."
Just when you thought it was safe to move to the country, ITV has announced the return of Midsomer Murders.
The popular mystery series has been renewed for six more episodes, with filming already under way on series 18.
The show stars Neil Dudgeon as DCI John Barnaby and Gwilym Lee as DS Charlie Nelson, who will be joined this time around by Manjinder Vir as pathologist Dr Kam Karimore.
The new feature-length episodes are due to be broadcast next year.

Sir Alan Ayckbourn, Britain's most performed living playwright, is offering a day in the rehearsal room at an auction to raise funds for his home theatre in Scarborough.
Sir Alan will let the highest bidder into rehearsals for Hero's Welcome, his 79th play. Fans can also buy costumes and props from his previous shows, such as the gnome from Neighbourhood Watch.
It will all raise money for new writing at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, the venue where Sir Alan stages his new plays, which has also hosted the premieres of such shows as The Woman in Black and Neville's Island.
A century-and-a-half on from her first appearance in print, Lewis Carroll's heroine Alice and the Wonderland she visited continues to cast a bewitching spell.
The BBC's Tim Muffett has been exploring the character's enduring appeal - with help from the cast of a new theatrical production currently being staged beneath London's Waterloo train station.
Actress and comedian Jessie Cave has signed a book deal for a collection of her single-panel cartoons.
The new book, Love Sick, has been compiled from daily doodles she's been posting on Twitter to her 73,000 followers since 2010.
As well as stand-up comedy, Cave is known for playing Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter film series and her work in E4 drama Glue.
Art on trial

A Japanese artist, arrested last year after building a kayak based on a 3D print of her own vagina, has gone on trial in Tokyo.
Megumi Igarashi said there was nothing wrong with her artwork and that her arrest showed how far Japan was behind the West in terms of sexual equality.
The 43-year-old faces up to two years in jail and fines of up to 2.5 million yen (£14,000) if found guilty of distributing obscene materials.
Her trial is expected to continue for some months.

A musical version of 2004 film Finding Neverland is to open later on Broadway, with Glee actor Matthew Morrison taking on the role that Johnny Depp played on screen.
According to Morrison (pictured), the musical - which also stars Kelsey Grammer of Frasier fame - is "really about the power of not being tied down to what you're given in life, but to create your imagination, create your family - just be creative in every sense of the word."
Take That's Gary Barlow was brought in to write some music for the show after its original production failed to take flight.

Singer Jack White has announced he is taking a break from playing live.
A post on his Facebook page reads: "After many years of performing in a multitude of configurations, Jack is announcing that he will be taking a break from performing live for a long period of time."
Before he signs off, the White Stripes star will perform some "entirely acoustic" live shows in the "only five states left in the US that he has yet to play".
Here's hoping he comes back soon.
Suffragette gets release date
PatheCopyright: Pathe
Suffragette, a new film about the campaign to win women the vote in the early years of the 20th Century, will be released in the UK on 30 October.
A "teaser" trailer for the film has been released that links the film to the #votingmatters campaign, an effort to encourage women to register to vote in the general election in May.
The Royal Court's new production of Roald Dahl's The Twits has divided critics.
Writing in the Telegraph, Dominic Cavendish said the production - adapted by Enda Walsh - was "mistimed and unwarranted".
The Arts Desk's Aleks Sierz was more positive, giving the show a four-star review in which he saluted its "fantastic special effects and thrilling zaniness".
"For all its strange playfulness, it feels pretty bloated and plodding in places and it's really hard to know quite who it's being pitched at," wrote Natasha Tripney in The Stage.
W1A actors Jason Watkins and Monica Dolan co-star in the London production, which runs until 31 May.
My big break
The Guardian

With the debate still raging over whether the arts are dominated by the upper-class alumnae of public schools, The Guardian has asked musicians, actors and film-makers from different backgrounds about how they got started.
It follows an interview former Doctor Who star Christopher Eccleston gave to the Radio Times this week, in which he spoke about the "pronounced" cultural inequality he saw in contemporary British society.
Ken Loach (pictured), Grayson Perry and Sue Johnston are among those quizzed on their first jobs, their big breaks and what they are doing now.
Paul Almond, the Canadian director who initiated the ground-breaking Seven Up! documentary, has died at the age of 83.
The programme, which examined the British class system through the eyes of 14 British seven-year-olds, was continued by director Michael Apted, who decided to catch up with its subjects at seven-year intervals.
Almond's other work included a TV version of Shakespeare's Macbeth starring a young, pre-James Bond Sean Connery and a trilogy of films on mystical themes starring his second wife Genevieve Bujold.
According to his son Matthew, the director died last week in California from complications of a recent heart attack.

'Lost' Robin Gibb album unearthed
BBCCopyright: BBC
Sing Slowly Sisters, a "lost" solo album by the late Bee Gee Robin Gibb, is finally to be released, 45 years after it was recorded.
It forms part of a collection of albums capturing Gibb's entire musical output at 19 years old, recorded over a 12-month period from 1969 to 1970.
Gibb had planned to complete the album prior to his death from cancer in 2012.
Saved by the Bell - The Collected Works of Robin Gibb: 1969-70 is released on 1 June.
Florence Welch is paying the price for her exuberant stage antics at the Coachella festival over the weekend - a broken foot.
The Florence and the Machine singer said her performances would have to "stripped back" as a consequence but pledged to be "back on her feet" in time for Glastonbury.
Gypsy, the classic musical about striptease artist Gypsy Rose Lee and her overbearing mother, opens in London's West End later having wowed audiences at Chichester last year.
Imelda Staunton (above left) plays ambitious matriarch "Momma Rose" in Jonathan Kent's production, whose cast also includes former Doctor Who star Peter Davison and Lara Pulver, of Sherlock and Spooks fame.
In her role as Louise Hovick, the shy youngster who becomes the most famous stripper in history, Pulver (above right) is required at one point to perform an elaborate, suggestive dance number.
The BBC's Vincent Dowd has been speaking to the show's choreographer, Stephen Mear, about how he pulled it off.
Avengers: Age of Ultron director Joss Whedon and Lionsgate Films have been slapped with a $10m (£6.8m) legal action over 2012 horror film The Cabin in the Woods.
According to papers filed on Monday, author Peter Gallagher claims the film "borrowed heavily" from The Little White Trip: A Night in the Pines, a novel he self-published in 2006.
"In many respects, the elements in the two works are virtually identical," his action alleges.
Daniel Craig is heading back to the set of the latest James Bond film after his recent knee surgery, but not before paying a visit to the United Nations in New York.
The 47-year-old met up with Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday to accept a new role: as global advocate for the elimination of mines and explosive hazards.
"As 007, you have a licence to kill," said Mr Ban. "Today, we are giving you a licence to save."
"I'm honoured to accept this role [and] humbled that I'll get the chance to work next to people who are risking their lives every day to help ordinary people live ordinary lives," said Craig.
Fire fighters were called to a blaze at the Coronation Street set in Trafford, Manchester last night - only to find out that it was all just special effects.
Rich, successful and generous to boot, US crime writer James Patterson has doubled his donation to independent UK and Irish bookshops and efforts to improve child literacy.
The 68-year-old has now pledged £500,000, from which any store with a dedicated children's book section can apply for a grant of between £250 and £5,000.
The money can be used for refurbishing or expanding children's sections and can also go towards bigger projects.
The actress, who took a break from her Broadway play Fish in the Dark last week to have surgery, said she had been diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma after seeking a second opinion from pathologists.
"I share this to educate others that a second opinion is critical to your health," she wrote. "You have nothing to lose if both opinions match up for the good, and everything to gain if something that was missed is found."
Wilson, who appeared with her husband in Sleepless in Seattle and has a recurring role in TV's The Good Wife, is expected to return to Fish in the Dark on 5 May.

Rita Wilson has double mastectomy
Tom Hanks' actress wife Rita Wilson has had a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

The actress, who took a break from her Broadway play Fish in the Dark last week to have surgery, said she had been diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma after seeking a second opinion from pathologists.
"I share this to educate others that a second opinion is critical to your health," she wrote. "You have nothing to lose if both opinions match up for the good, and everything to gain if something that was missed is found."
