Is that cherub supposed to be peeing into the coke bottle?  :wacko:
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

It's the famous Manneken Pis, a symbol of Brussels. They dress him up for holidays.

Truth? Fiction? These days I can't tell anymore. :P









I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Interesting to see from a time when being hairy was a positive.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Forza Horizon 4, taking place in the UK, includes plenty iconic British cars and some that are ... quirkier.

Like the Reliant Robin:





Or the Peel P50:





Or the Peel Trident:





Or the Morgan 3 Wheeler ... from 2014:






It has plenty other oddballs, like a line of James Bond cars (including a Citroen 2CV), or the Mercedes Unimog 2 ton truck (I remember that one from military service). Or the GMC van from the A-Team. Or the Warthog from Halo. Or the VW Type 2 (hippie bus). Or the BMW Isetta (mine has a Kinder surprise egg paint job). There's over 500 cars in the game, all lovingly modeled in stunning detail, and new ones added regularly.

It's an arcade driver, right? Not a simulation?

Arcade, yes. Which is why I got into it. I tried Project Cars 2, and gave up. :D

This Buddhist festival in Thailand has a bit of a Riefenstahlian tinge. :P
