It looks a bit like a holder for envelopes. And the top bit that looks like a straw is where I think one would put a pen.

Ugh. How I loathe religious zealots. A simple warning would've been enough but to do this is certainly not a way to garner tourists or investors. :(

I believe Todd's job is to either clean up the mess or to notify next of kin. :D

Baby, we're cashing in a ton of green. Although...I was promised that cheque and still haven't gotten it. ;)

Should've been done during the Jaws anniversary.

@ gjd

Many thanks! :) I got a few days off so I'm going to be gallivanting across the city and see these markets.
