Like "Are there really polar bears on the streets in Sweden?" I once convinced an American guy I was talking to that the penguins that roam the streets of Stockholm were slowly becoming extinct since they were hunted down by the polar bears. | |

So everytime you cross the street, is that a block?
I overheard that in NYC...and that 'reminds' me of the most Brilliant website ever--besides the Org, of course: www.overheardinnewyork.com It's FULL of stupid tourist questions. (And just stupid comments in general.  )The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |
