The last two times I saw the Rosetta Stone (okay, the only two times), the crowds weren't so bad. Once there was a cute group of schoolkids pointing and exclaiming, but they were short, so I had no problem seeing.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

I first saw it in...1995 or 6, I think. It wasn't so bad then. The past couple of times, it's been mob city.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
We must indeed organize a London F2F to watch Ewan and Chiwetal's Othello.
Also, where is Terrence Mann to be seen dancing in tight pants? Because I must see this.
Also also, Matt, having now seen you in person (yay!), the scruffy is so working.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Woman on oxygen dies after power cut off
WELLINGTON, New Zealand - A 44-year-old woman who needed an electric oxygen pump to breathe died after an energy company cut the power to her home because of an unpaid bill, her family claimed Wednesday.
Police said they had launched an investigation into Folole Muliaga’s death, which happened within two hours of state-owned company Mercury Energy cutting power to her house Tuesday.
...
A Mercury Energy representative arrived on Tuesday at her home in the northern city of Auckland to disconnect the electricity, said Brenden Sheehan, Muliaga’s nephew-in-law.
Sheehan said both Muliaga and her son told the technician she was dependent on the oxygen machine to stay alive and invited him into the house to see it. “Then he cut the power off,” Sheehan told The Associated Press.
Muliaga began having difficulty breathing, became faint and then collapsed, he said. Paramedics were unable to revive her, and she was pronounced dead within two hours of the power being cut.

Seriously, Mr. Jane's coworker left yesterday for London.

The sad thing is that the closest I've been to London is a layover in Heathrow, so I've never seen the Rosetta stone. Code of Hammurabi and Michelangelo's David, sure.
Now there's a first world problem.
