Next thing you know Malthus will not be honoring his father and mother.

Making graven images Malthus? Tsk tsk.

Hey, I'm not worshipping this thing. I gave it to someone else to worship.  :D

He's tempting others to worship though, that's gotta be pretty bad too.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I've undoubtedly told this story before, but in brief: I was sitting with her in her room minding my own business. Her parents were out.

Then you were doing it wrong.  ;)

An Icon made by a Jew. There's something not right about that. :ph34r:
But to be honest I suspect that most new icons in Russia now are coming from some factory in China.

An Atheist* Jew. The worst kind of Jew.  :P

*Well, something of a pantheist. Footnote added to annoy Berkut.  :D

Speaking of religious art, here's a medieval-early Renaissance prayer bead:



Amazingly lifelike skull - this is very small, the size of a dollar coin. It opens up and there's a whole scene carved on the inside!

This one is cute - there is a herd of deer that visit the nearby cemetery. It is odd to think that there is a herd of wild deer living two blocks from my house, when I live in the middle of a big city - but here they are.

Yeah Deer live all throughout my city as well. I have noticed as the decades have gone by they have gotten very good at avoiding cars. Natural Selection at work?

The cemetery also has, apparently, packs of wild coyotes that prey on the deer - or at least, there are signs warning you that they will prey on your little dogs if you let them run around off the leash.

A couple of months ago, a bear was found wandering through backyards (the other side of the city).

Pretty soon, we'll see them commuting on the subway. No doubt looking as miserable as everyone else.  :lol:
