    I hope one is your S/O and the other rests safely in a kitchen drawer until needed.

    So a woman insisted to her son's head of year that she gave me a form for said head to fill in. Around her, I said that I put any documents for staff into their pigeonhole.

    The head of year asked when this was and she named a date that I could recall. I waited for her to leave and told the teacher, "I couldn't remember her face, any letter to you, and the date she dropped was the one day all half term I was off sick."

    This cat is actually just reacting to @Link the Writer's image of an orca attacking a great white shark. I guess shark gonads are rather stomach-turning.

    You failed @Cave Troll. This didn't pick me up, it made me want to punch his glasses off. This guy is far more offensive and annoying that Madge's attempts to play the guitar?

    This was long before social media and videogames. :p I think he had plenty of time on his hands.

    What's even more remarkable is how he did it. It's not like working with clay. I saw an incomplete work of his when I visited Florence years back. It was fascinating. He created a work line in the solid marble block and excavated the work almost to perfection out of it. I cannot find the image now, but here's a similar one:

    Yup. Was it Michelangelo who supposedly said "It's easy, I just cut away everything that wasn't lion"?....

    ETA: In the Mount Rushmore sculpture, Thomas Jefferson is looking somewhat more upward than the other presidents. Some people feel that this is to indicate he was staring into the future, but in fact there was a crack in the rock where his nose was meant to be, and they had to keep carving deeper and deeper until it disappeared.

    I am afraid I fail to follow your reasoning behind your statement regarding that video that precedes it.
