... suddenly I wish Barricade hadn't been killed in the first TF movie. Because I just found a quote from the video game Prototype that would suit him perfectly:

"You have the right to be ventilated. I have the right to burn your home and shoot your dog. Do you understand these rights as I have read them to you?"

COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO TRANSFORMERS

I've been compiling a list of tourist things I want to see in New York when I finally get the chance to take vacation time. So far I have:

Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, Astoria Park, the tram ride along the Queensboro Bridge, possibly the Marine Air Terminal at LaGuardia, the operational farm somewhere in Queens, the Brooklyn Aquarium, Prospect Park (esp. the Prospect Park Zoo), the Brooklyn Bridge, Chinatown (possibly the Museum of the Chinese in America), the South Street Seaport, the National Museum of the American Indian, the NY Fire Museum, the other tiny museums of south Manhattan, a random Staten Island Ferry ride, the Tibetan museum in Staten Island, the Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the American Museum of Natural History, the Bryant Park area incl. Grand Central (the Chrysler building if they have tours), the Empire State Building and immediate environs, the Strand, Times Square, and Ellis Island and *maybe* the Statue of Liberty if it's not hot and smelly inside any more.

I reckon I won't see it all in a week, or even two, but I figure I can at least see a good chunk of the stuff on that list. Is there anything else some of y'all would recommend I add to the list of stuff that should be seen?
