The internet is a fun place to play: I really like the picture on this one. Check out the description of the human as ‘hapless’. We’re all screwed when faced with prehistoric sharks. Or fake electronic sharks. Hell, I’m pretty screwed when faced with an ‘Open Water’ Dvd-wielding girlfriend. I was scared. This is interesting. Apparently I can become an Italian citizen, as long as my great-grandfather didn’t renounce his Italian citizenship in front of an Italian authority. This would have the immediate effect of granting me a sense of fashion, as well as giant sunglasses. Time Traveler Convention. “Technically, you would only need one time traveler convention. Time travelers from all eras could meet at a specific place at a specific time, and they could make as many repeat visits as they wanted. We are hosting the first and only Time Travller Convention at MIT on Saturday, and WE NEED YOUR HELP!” That’s so incredibly cool. I want to get drunk and be scolded by Moses. And I want further commandments to be revealed, especially ‘Thou shalt not vote for the ‘American Idol’. It’s even got a ‘down with paganism’ ring to it. Finally, check out this awful picture of Prague’s old Stalin statue, known as the ‘Meat Queue’. Luckily they blew it up back in the 50’s, so I don’t have to look at it every day. They stuck a giant metronome there after ’89, since no one could figure out what to do with the place. But it serves a very important service: it’s a great place for people to go and get a view of the city.

No, the metronome is just a bit of frivolity that i like. Listen: there used to be a giant statue of STALIN staring down at the WHOLE CITY. NO one wants anything else up there to stare at them. Anyway, that place is important because it's the best place to look at the city.
