POPSMedusa From ancient times, the Medusa was immortalized in numerous works of art, including: * Medusa on the breastplate of Alexander the Great, as depicted in the Alexander Mosaic from Pompeii's House of the Faun (c. 200 BC) * The "Rondanini Medusa", a Roman copy of the Gorgoneion on the aegis of Athena * Medusa (oil on canvas) by Leonardo da Vinci * Perseus with the Head of Medusa (bronze sculpture) by Benvenuto Cellini (1554) * Medusa (oil on canvas) by Caravaggio (1597). * Tête de Méduse, by Peter Paul Rubens (1618) * Perseus Turning Phineus and his Followers to Stone (oil on canvas) by Luca Giordano (early 1680s). * Perseus with the Head of Medusa (marble sculpture) by Antonio Canova (1801) * Medusa (oil on canvas) by Arnold Böcklin (c. 1878) * Perseus (bronze sculpture) by Salvador Dalí

POPSBin Laden threatens to bomb Switzerland He attempted to persuade Swiss mountain cows coming off of the mountains, mentioning cows are, "holy creatures and guided by Allah and Hindu's" (what the f**k have Hindu's in common with Muslims?) and they could be used as suicide bombers, especially as no-one would search their cow-bells (perfect place to hide his bombs). Not such a brilliant idea so he's decided to clone his suicide-bombers into Roger Federer look-alikes (dark and swarthy our Roger!) infiltrate Switzerland, bomb the crap out of the place and teach the Swiss a lesson or two in Minaret building! Only place his Roger Federer clones are not allowed to bomb is the Swiss National Bank, Bin Laden has personal interests there, his multi-millions + that other interest!!!!

POPS What Junk I love this stuff. It takes a master's eye to be able to see something great out of a pile of junk. Just collecting the stuff is a tremendous endeavor! Then storing it, Wow!

POPS You Really Cut Me Up I am having trouble with my clipping tool. Some images were clipped twice. Funny thing though, they just happened to be my favorites. This coming October's celebration of the dead, I think we should try to use different veggies and fruits to carve. Who says it;s gotta be a pumpkin? I love that little green apple!
