After two weeks of living here, I noticed this morning that our clawfoot tub actually has claws. I will have to wait until Science Museum Erin comes home, but I gather that they are specifically the talons of a large hunting bird. An eagle might be too obvious, but they might be the claws of an eagle, because if you look north at the detailing around the top of the "foot," there seems to be patterns and details resembling feathers.
Photos upcoming.
Del.icio.us is a stupid name for something designed to track bookmarks. I will call this part of my blog "Imagine a London Underground Travelcard as a Bookmark Here, Virtually." (IALUTAABHV, perhaps IALUT for short, which sounds kind of like INUIT who are eskimos, so this section will just be called ESKIMOS.)
ESKIMOS:
Science Museum of Minnesota - Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination - Guess what! There is no science in Star Wars. It is mythology! This is the third time I've been in a city with a Star Wars exhibition, most recently Paris where they pretended to honestly ponder scientific questions like "Is the force real?" or "Is it possible to take a Gungan through the core of a planet?" and "Will we ever able to travel in hyperspeed?" instead of questions like "Is this exhibition's profits going to take us sailing through the next fiscal year?" But, hell, everybody loves Star Wars. I am particularly interested in asking the question of how awesome a life size Millennium Falcon cockpit replica and Han Solo's 'rogue' outfit will be. Be sure to sign up for Star Wars Priority Email Ticket Club - I sure did.
