Yes! But, as I say, crap giftshop. Extremely irritating, because I would have spent LOADS of money.
There was a guided tour, and it was very cool. They've got an intricate system for letting in natural light while preventing any glare.

We were talking about names and origins in a graduate class, and I said my great-grandparents were from the kingdom of Bohemia. A woman gave a little gasp and said, "That's a real place? I thought Arthur Conan Doyle made it up."
Wow, I can understand not being aware that what used to be Bohemia is now part of the Czech Republic. But did she think that the adjective Bohemian originated with Doyle too?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The toaster just launched my piece of bread into the air and onto the floor.

Your toaster has had too much coffee.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Maybe she thinks he invented cocaine too.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
This is the same Ohio Republican Party that used every effort--legal and illegal--to purge Democrats from voter rolls in 2004. This is the same Ohio Republican Party that cheered when Kenneth Blackwell said he was going to "deliver" Ohio's electoral votes for Bush in 2004. This is the same Ohio Republican Party that is seeking to prevent newly registered voters from voting in this landmark election.
The county prosecutor in my (Ohio) county is trying to quarantine (and therefore not count) ~600 ballots cast by people who registered and voted the same day, due to claims of voter fraud.
Interestingly, that county prosecutor? Also happens to be the southwest Ohio regional chairman of the McCain campaign.
How on EARTH they get away with this bullshit is beyond me.
To be fair, apparently some time today the prosecutor did -- allegedly -- choose to "take his office out of the investigation." He's all pissy that anyone would DARE to suggest he's trying to stop people from voting. He said -- and this is a real quote -- “I’m not trying to stop anybody from voting. The people we’ve looked at have already voted.”
Right, you aren't trying to *stop* anyone from voting; you just want to make sure their vote doesn't count, you reprehensible assclown.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I thought Moldova was made up until I met a person from Moldova about three years ago.
