So I'm a huge Arthurian Legend guy and the mysterious end of that army in Denmark immediately reminded me of one of my favorite Arthur movies. No, not John Boorman's Excalibur - that's a baaad movie; but King Arthur staring Clive Owen and Keira Knightley. A very cool retelling of the Legend. In it there's a battle scene where Arthur and Company defeat a Saxon army advancing over a frozen lake by causing the ice to break beneath them. Yeah History! See the movie if you get the chance.

ReplyDeleteUsing a pillow is a waste of a good therapeutic scream.
ReplyDeleteFor Election Grief keep in mind everyone “fer and agin”, except for a handful like musk, will suffer equally under this rein.
I’m assuming (we all know where that leads) the optical illusion paintings can be viewed 360 degrees. That means the background seen through the “transparent” sections would change constantly. That’s pretty tricky to pull off.

No, the illusion paintings have to be seen from one certain point.
ReplyDeleteEveryone suffering equally does not make me feel any better.
