    That's it. I'm calling child protective services. It's clear that your wife is not fit to be a mother.

    if *everyone* now dresses up their streets as other streets when the google street view car arrives then google will show it all wrong and Washington will look like Moscow and Moscow will look like London and we can all have a laugh and we can go to sleep at night feeling we've done something useful.

    This does show how much being online is part of everyone culture now. Back in the 90's putting a web page with your pictures and we would have easily called you narcissist and think of you as a jerk.

    I just thought that narcissist jerks had found another outlet.

    Somehow, only a few of them grow up to be serial killers.

    Pretty sure that if you study the matter, the time spent around partially nude people is inversely proportional to your propensity to shoot up a school-yard later in life.

    I think you are confusing "public art" and "pubic art".
