"100,000 objects"
not one million.
Although it would still take a while to look at them all :)

I'd be worried that there were still 100 russian missiles pointed at the house/silo, long forgotten hardware from the cold war or something!

This bear looks a lot like another internet bear... :S

"the most famous Alan (and Allen) in England"

"I’m a female of average height (5?1”)"

Uh since when is 5'1" average height!?

Average height in the uk and the us for women is about 5 foot 4.

Even in Japan the average height is 5 foot 2

I went to his mausoleum the other day.
He is considered a hero in Cuba.
Just like Winston Churchill is considered a hero in England, although he was also responsible for a lot of deaths.

@badgirl "Our Father does beautiful work. Wow"

As a great man once said:

"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?"

we experienced it once when we visited tokyo (and it was an interesting experience!) nothing quite that extreme, but as we were the biggest (tallest) people in the carriage it was a mad squeeze, the guys on the platform kept gesturing for more people to get one, it was crazy!

It was only during rush hour so the rest of the holiday we were fine. The guide book said that every visitor should experience it once!

"Um…only one place makes REAL pizza.

Chicago."

I would imagine the ones in Italy are quite nice...

oooh! we went by this on the way to Kyoto! I wondered what it was :)

I've been to Ueno zoo, but sadly I missed out on drill day, looks fun though
