BTW here's a 17th century action figure from the Science Museum, fully articulated. Wish I would have had my Boba Fett along. He would have appreciated that, I think.

Bad Week for Civilization
Check it out. The Science Museum in London has some disturbing information:

Micbeth
My son, Kynon, is 7 years old and is reading a simplified version of Macbeth for his English curriculum. He's already memorized the "Tomorrow" speech, and liked Patrick Stewart's recitation of it. It's fair to say that he's intrigued by a good story. So here I have a couple of interpretations by the little guy from the Bard's play. The first was dictated to his mother; the second are written by him.
In the beginning there was a war. The sergeant is bleeding from being whacked by a sword. The Thane of Cawdor was a traitor. He joined the Norway team. Macbeth is walking someplace and the witches are in their way doing a spell. "Speak," says Macbeth. The [witches] say hi to Macbeth. Then they continue with their spell. They tell him he is going to be Thane of Cawdor and king.
Micbett lies about thinking about the whiches. Micbeth has a visit from the king. Micbeth leaves the table because hes worried Micbeth sees his bagger [dagger] in the air.
What can I say? I'm proud of my boy.

The Natural History Museum, 16 July 2011
The terrific facade of the British Museum of Natural History. If you look closely, you can see monkeys and other animals on the columns. I didn't think I'd enjoy this expedition, but I'm glad I went. It's within a stone's throw of the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Science Museum, Royal Albert Hall, and Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park. Also extremely nearby are the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal Geographic Society. A few streets down? Harrods and Harvey Nicks.
Go in the museum, and this fellah greets you.
Ever wonder about how sex works? I mean, really wonder how it works? Have you ever thought that maybe you'd understand it better if there was an incredibly explicit latex cutaway model you could look at along with your kids, in a crowded museum? Well, your dreams can be realized at the British Museum of Natural History.
The rock collection at the British Museum of Natural History. Dang, it was a lot of rocks. But I will say that the gems at the end of the hall were pretty cool.
Of course, there's a big statue of Charles Darwin here, or as some would say...THE ANTICHRIST MWA HA HA.
The Great Hunter, Captain Whatshisface. Emblematic of the British Colonial spirit in Deepest Darkest Africa.
A great shot of me and a coelecanth. You should check out how the coelecanth figures into the climax of Ghosty: This Fenceless World. Go google it now. And then purchase it, repeatedly.
