These lists are always quite arbitrary and say much about their authors' taste.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-34721942561405608412008-05-18T10:18:00.000-07:002008-05-18T10:18:00.000-07:00Your "old Russian art" looks a rather modern Baltic thing, something from Estonia, Lithuania or Latvia. The theme is still a mystery, though.<BR/><BR/>I identify the "Chtulhu harvest" as the Buddha's Hand citrus. That's the shape it typically is. The fruit is used symbolically in Chinese art.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-52072042066495062712008-05-18T09:50:00.000-07:002008-05-18T09:50:00.000-07:00I recommand people from other country then U.S. to NOT read "The Essential Man's Library". You could be a little bit insulted to find out that more then 50% of the book come from U.S.Richardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08603637804081291286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-45376360510484988562008-05-18T03:37:00.000-07:002008-05-18T03:37:00.000-07:00Marilyn Monroe has so much personality - she still almost leaps at you from that old photo.<BR/><BR/>No star of today can match her aura* Miss Universe Pictureshttp://www.omnisio.com/beauty/miss-universe-winners-being-announced--crownednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-53082993550559362892008-05-18T03:06:00.000-07:002008-05-18T03:06:00.000-07:00Actually, It looks like it is an accident, as the tank doesn't appear to have a new track on. Normally to change a track, the old track is unpinned at the front, the new track pinned to it, the tank driven forward until it is on the new track, and the old one is removed. This looks like one of the track pins has snapped while the tank was moving, and it's coasted several meters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-79258073853126804162008-05-18T01:58:00.000-07:002008-05-18T01:58:00.000-07:00Your "tank accident" isn't an an accident.. It's the only way to change the tracks on a tank.. One of the links gets unbolted, the tank drives off, a new track gets laid in place and the tank drives on it again.<BR/><BR/>How else would you replace a +2 tons "wheel" ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
