Reading an autobiography about Gene Wilder (Kiss Me Like A Stranger) - bhk thinks it looks like he's in bed with the kitties.

Went to Lowe's with BHK, Larry and Chris to grab a bit o' tile for our bathroom, and hit the store to grab Chris some tax software. Stopped at Cheeseburger in Paradise on the way home - had a late lunch at about 4:30. That's about the size of things for our slow but comfy Sunday

50 things I've done meme continues with item 35. I...

35.'honeymooned and visited all of the Ripley's / Oddity museums from Florida and Maryland. BHK and I both have a huge interest in oddities, weirdness and general WTF observation. I think the Ripley's in St. Augustine is the vastly superior one, plus, St. Aug is a wonderful place to mill around. BHK and I drank from the fountain of youth while we visited the Ponce De Leon region... so I guess I'll be doing the journal for quite a span.

Götz von Berlichingen had a problem. It was 1504 and, at the tender young age of 24, the plundering knight, mercenary and all around bastard had the upper part of his right arm torn off in a cannon blast. As someone who made his living off war and already had a sizable enemies’ list, Götz needed his killin’ hand.

So he got another one. Made of iron.

That's one awesome prosthetic.

Love that photo!

Money is getting so colorful, you have to wonder if all the specialized inks are causing the cost of printing to be more than the document is worth. When we lived in Mexico I was amazed at the array of inks and textures on their paper money. There was one bill that even had a little plastic window in it. I think the two peso bill? Anyway it was interesting. Now the US is following suit. Wonder what's been going on in the counterfeiting world that we've not seen on the news to spur these seemingly drastic changes.

I sort of like the monopoly money effect! I suspect cheaper computers and high tech engravers are to blame!

Noooo get out of Scotto and BHK's bed Gene Wilder. I always you were creepy since I saw you in that boat scene in Willy Wonka.

As I was brushing my teeth--turning around seeing Gene's big ol' smilin' face in the bed with my kitties put that EXACT scene right in my mind---sent a chill through my spine!

How are you liking the biography?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

It's pretty good! he's a fundamentally sad sort of person, but he wanders into a lot of good things and positive growth.

Oh hi Spike,

Did you guys check out the mutter museum yet in Philly? It's chock-a-block full of oddities.
