Random Quote
Exhausted, dehydrated, yet spiritually uplifted, some 350,000 Catholic pilgrims packed themselves onto a hot and dusty field yesterday to say good-by to Pope John Paul II. … More than 10,000 people were treated at field hospitals for mostly minor problems. Leading the list of maladies were dehydration, severe asthma, altitude-caused dizziness, and twisted ankles suffered by pilgrims tripped up by prairie-dog holes. …The 73-year-old pontiff made two visits to the site by Marine helicopter.
[Don Lattin, San Francisco Chronicle, 16 August 1993]

I never knew that Edo period natural history art used such similar styles as the European 19th century naturalists (Haeckel, etc.). Thanks for opening my eyes to a school that was completely unknown to me!

Hey Marco, looks like you captured it first.
When they talked about this squid, then let on that this squid was now pickled in the blue vat behind them, it reminded me of going to the Forestry Building in Portland when I was a kid, and seeing the exhibits of the oldest trees they'd CUT DOWN.
