Julian Assange Trying To Raise Nearly $200k For a Statue of Himself
Rei writes Julian Assange, from his refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy, has recently taken to Twitter to try to raise nearly $200,000 for a life-size bronze statue of himself. The statue would have him standing front and center between Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning (with Manning pictured as male); the art piece would be then shipped around the world on tour.
Shut the fuck up!!!!

Obviously this is his method of escape. He will conceal himself inside the statue, and then it will be shipped to Russia, among other places.
If he would have used a Trojan, he wouldn't be in the trouble he is now.
Have gnu, will travel.
That's why most customs stations now feature a special security check. An agent taps lightly on every statue going through customs, whispers "we're here", and then waits a bit to see if anything happens.
I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see some love for Cato the Elder. (I'm writing my PhD thesis on him, and yet when people ask what I'm studying and I tell them, no one ever knows who he is).
