@ Gauldar - It was never explained.
It was a good series, but I just got burned out on it.

I solve the bitterness problem by throwing the shell of an egg in the pot.
the darker the roast - the more bitter the coffee.

@ christophe - those were the people that did not jump out.

@ muttehals - you did not read the link or the comments?
It was just rubber cement.

My favorite has always been the Lion's head monument on the road to Baguio.

Ooh comments are not disabled anymore. I had a little trouble. For some reason I had to create a new account.
But I ordered. YAY!!

I had always wanted to get the waranty on my old 54 renewed as a joke.

YEAH!!! COMIC SANS!! RULZ!

I thought this had been solved by NASA.
It was on a Secrets of the Dead or something like that. ??

Mixing the "dust" from an art gum eraser in with the rubber cement, works nice for texture.

i used to have a minor interest in cryptology growing up. I had discovered a cryptology book that belonged to my grandfather. It was for use in the British army.

But, I was watching a program about "inside the CIA" and that sculture had a lengthy segment. The artist showed how he encrypted the "puzzle". He had encrypted it differently for each panel though. Ever since I saw that - I occasionally try to figure it out. I kind of work it like a sudoku. One that I know is extremly difficult to solve, so I just work on maybe two squares every now and then.
I do however think the last 97 characters are more simple than the first three panels.And that people are making it more difficult than it is.
When the artist had said "it should unravel and reveal itself slowly" I had thought that one should perhaps copy the statur to paper and roll it up.
But you would have to know the correct diameter that you should roll it up into.

!!! what a mesmerizing color!! Almost the same color as some old Japanses pottery I have.
I would love to have a beautiful koi like that in my pond. But that would just be making a buffet for the wild life out here.

Solar Babies?
When rollerblading was trendy and hip.

Oh It scrapes past the twenty year mark. Dang. :(

I have a friend that shops thrift stores for old furniture style TV sets. He buys them. Guts them and replaces them with new flat panels.
He does the same with radios and turntables.

Fantastic.
I wish there were more people like this.
Well not at deaths door part, but more people that put their money to the "arts" for children.
