Lila, that is a Cuteness Overload-worthy photo.

In the name of Open Thread, I bring random links to the best collection of silly maps ever. [Warning: the PDF files are large, but worth the patience it takes to download]

The National Beer Map of Canada, anyone? Or Name that town? Perhaps, given this crowd, The Fairy Tale Map of Canada would appeal.

The Donut Map of Canada is hanging on my office wall right now.

I don't remember where I first encountered these "Dear cell phone user" cards but I suspect it was in Teresa's Particles. In any case, they're worth a visit.

Reporting in from another city with poems, rather than poets, on local buses. What do they call the program? "Poetry in Motion," of course. There was a lovely couplet in French on the bus I took home from work yesterday.

Speaking of unwanted entertainment in Minneapolis: we drove down there with our children for the Easter long weekend. When we stopped to fill the tank on the way out of town, a television screen on the gas pump -- precisely eye level with my five year old son in the backseat -- blipped on with gory details of the most recent bombing in Iraq.

Thanks a LOT, Citgo. Like we're not subjected to enough random TV.

Not only did the Greeks wear armor to fight, they put clothes under it

What, fidelio, you mean this movie won't be historically accurate?

Oh, well. I can think of a couple reasons to see it anyways.

(And to tie all the strands of this comment thread together in one bow, it's based on... Frank Miller.)
