By the way, that picture in the mexican religious store, is that an alien?



I have no idea what that ... thing  ... is. Googling suggest that it may simply be a dried fish, though why they are selling it remains a mystery.  :lol:

That whole place was seriously wierd.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

No, it's clearly a devil-shaped Pez dispenser.

On a follow-up note: I recently bought a beautiful coffee-table-type book on the Bonampak murals (pictured above). I was hoping to learn more about them.

The problem: not much is actually known. Even though they can now read the hieroglyphic incriptions, they aren't very helpful. Basically, they provide a long-count date and a description of the various rituals associated with the dedication of the monument itself - the author described it as "Mayan boilerplate".  :lol:

It is sort of like as if aliens had found a complex movie, but the only written description of what the movie was about, was the copyright notice.

Edit: also included reconstructions of some of the murals that were too dark or blurred to see, many of extreme wierdness - WTF is this all about?  :cthulu: http://benedante.blogspot.ca/2010/03/bonampak.html
