When in Pasadena, everyone should visit the Norton Simon Museum (formerly, the Pasadena Museum of Art). It's hard to leave that place with any tears left. Plus, he collected some rather impressive lingams . . . if you're into that sort of thing. You can take a reading break and read all about it here: Norton Simon Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That's a very under rated museum. One of the few gems in LA.

But if you look under "Customers also bought," there are so many others competing for my attention that it is hard to decide!
I see what you mean. A veritable smörgåsbord of literary delights. hmmm . . . what to choose?

I'll bet this will whet your appetite: What's Your Poo Telling You? Activity Book

or this: Kama Pootra: 52 Mind-Blowing Ways to Poop
"The only known translation of an ancient manual instructing readers in the art of enlightened bathroom experience, the Kama Pootra offers a thrilling rediscovery of the tiled path to porcelain nirvana. Willing seekers will find fifty-two progressive positions designed to maximize how you do number two. Every time the bathroom door closes, a new experience awaits."
Well, this has been most enlightening.

I'll tell you how European I am - I didn't get that til the 3rd read.

BTW: YouTube - QI - The Pronunciation of Van Gogh

Just sayin'...

I know how it's pronounced in Dutch, but if you say it that way in English, at least in the US (and I should think elsewhere, to judge from what happens in that clip), nobody will understand whom you mean and they will think that you are rasping up phlegm to spit.

Bollocks - in context it would be perfectly understandable.

Well, they might understand whom you mean but unless you are Dutch or Flemish they will think that you are a pretentious ass.

Well, they may think you are Dutch, at least partially, if you pronounce it properly.

The usual linguistic test to verify one's linguistic Dutchness is if you can say "Scheur door de bocht," with enough gutturals to make an English speaker queasy, and without making yourself a pompous ass. It basically means "rip/tear through the bend," of a road, referring to driving, but sometimes it can apply to cats. If you can't say that, here's a Guide to Being Dutch. It ain't a book, but it's pretty long, and it's in English.

Quote from the above:

What is the source of my happiness?

Am I eating healthy enough?

When did I eat so much corn?

I think it does a fair job of parodying the original shastra. But it's not sexy.

Munch actually painted several paintings that he called "The Scream," two of which were stolen, one in the 1990s and the other in 2004. Both were recovered.

Macauley Culkin's blazon theft of The Scream for his entire ouevre has never been prosecuted, despite numerous sightings. :eek:
