OK, for Karen's link,
Does this work?
Can anyone else see this?

So you walk into your local museum, and the guy in the ticket booth is reading a book. Just how old is the book that the guy in YOUR Museum reading?
*Part of the thread that I didn't do on Why Volterra is an awesome place to go in Italy

Curses Flickr for being so hard to use.


It works! What a fabulous picture. Very Happy

YES,

This was the picture I took for you!
Because here is a book written in the 14 or 15th century, being read in a ticket taker's booth.

I thought It may make you want to visit Volterra Smile

I have more!

It sure looks like it. It's a ghost town in here. I'll bet they ran out of liquor and all went home. We'll prolly never find out who won all that other stuff. Crying or Very sad

Best logicial

Most pedantic

Most likely to do a stomp off oneday

Best all round debater

Most likely to post silly things when drunk

Biggest post slut

Person who deserves an award just because

Best dressed

Poster you'd most like to go to dinner with

Poster you'd most like to have steamy sex with

Poster who would taste best stuffed with sage and onion and served with glazed carrots

best contributions to food threads

Poster most likely to put threads in the wrong forum

Poster most likely to get annoyed by the above

Poster most likely to go into politics

Non theistic poster most likely to 'find God'.


Can I help you with anything Moosie?
