My father has a bunch of these, at least 50 years old. He told me they are navy forks. They are a result of a sailing philosophy that states, "One hand for the ship and one hand for yourself." Using a knife and fork required two hands for one's self.

Every time I see Jesus' image used in some sort of "statement art," I'm always left with the same feeling. Here's an artist with a very cursory, and flawed, understanding of Jesus, his curriculum, and a mature Christians' regard for him. I think we see images of Jesus used too often to try and make some deep statement, clumsily attempting to borrow the dignity and import of Jesus. It's like a comedian who needs to swear constantly to get a reaction. What Magritte did with a pipe, what ter Borch did with satin, what de Kooning did with some yellow, this piece can't do with Jesus. It's college art.

1. Do we really think the writers of the constitution thought, "Oh, let's not forget to protect the right of military to have guns."
2. The necessary militia can only be "well regulated" by the knowledge that the general population is well armed, too.
3. I like comment #10. As I remember, in Finland, healthy adults are not only REQUIRED to keep a rifle at home, but to show up for required target and arms handling practice periodically. Nice idea.
4. It's amazing how the right to practice religion, speak freely, peaceably assemble and petition the govt. with grievances has been distorted and stretched to protect pornographers, but it remains controversial whether gun control laws infringe on the people's right to keep and bear arms.
As I see it, we (citizens) should be the most powerful force in the nation. Not the police, military, government, and/or crimimals, but us. If we surrender that responsibility, we deserve our servitude.

Thanks #17 Dave. Here, here.

I could see the lightpost on the larger image. Neat.

I don't think so, there's no lamp post in the scene. It must have been outliined freehand.
