Quizilla does really live up to its name.
I've done some reports on the artist/sculptor Rodin. I'd like to encourage people to examine his work because they really are magnificent. Realize that most are curved out of marble or cast in bronze and are extremely life-like for this medium. I'm in awe of that. Also check out Henri Matisse too while you're at it.
I saw, in EW, an article on Van Helsing. In the piece, the writer refers to "Frankenstein" as Frankenstien's Monster. Thank You! In the novel, neither Shelly nor Dr. Victor Frankenstein named the "monster," so the creature was simply called just that, "the monster."
One of my favorite nursery rhyme was Humpty Dumpty. I used to think about why the king's men could put him back together again. I mean, I thought up all kinds of scenarios about the event. I would analyze it from all angles. It really struck me that Humpty Dumpty was no more. Poor Humpty Dumpty. He couldn't help it. Eggs are by nature very fragile things. There wasn't anything he could really do about it. Except maybe don't sit on a wall. Was he sitting on a wall when he fell? I seem to remember so. At least from the memory of the drawing I saw, I think he was sitting on the wall. Anyways, Just realized that he was a poor soul that couldn't see saved. It was a tragic end for him.
Speaking of favorite things, Lego was one of them. Along with Barbie of course. I love, love Lego. I still have my collection although I never really play with them anymore. I found this site dedicated to Lego: The Brick Testament. Now, I'm not religious at all, but I do find the use of Lego to depict events in the Bible...fascinating? I don't know how to describe it. I agree that it's clever, and the guys is talented, but it seems wrong to enjoy it, somehow. I mostly played house with my legos. Like build a house and garden for my lego people to live in. Sometimes they even get to ride in custom built cars or helicopters. Maybe, when it's warm, they'll be able to go to the beach, ride on bicycles, and buy ice-cream.

- On Brooklyn's Avenue of Babel, Cultures Entwine I love to read about the mixture of cultures etc. I like it when writers choose to celebrate rather than lament the loss of it.
