Things I learned this weekend:

1. The first weekend of summer isn't a good time to wear full jeans and a dark blue T-shirt.
2. Especially not to the zoo.
3. ESPECIALLY not to the simulated rainforest exhibit.
4. The Central Park Zoo has at least four gay penguins.
5. Chinese scholars used to pay good money for funky looking rocks. Not gems. Rocks.
6. Ancient Greek soldiers saw nothing wrong with marching into battle wearing a breastplate with nipples, a navel, and a potbelly all sculpted in the bronze.
7. Someone at the court of the Qianlong Emperor of China deserves a thrashing for the way they painted the face of Imperial Bodyguard Zhanyinbao.
8. Said bodyguard was One Tough Bastard.

That's pretty much it. Explanations will be given if people want, but right now, 's late and I gotta gobed.

Good ol' Black Mage.

I ought to use this as a .sig file somewhere.
