A line from Samuel Shuckford
Recruited & looted from WoW's Faceless
Corruptor, tectonic action is dragging a
full-grown mouse straight up the side
of a refrigerator. Enormous fragments
fall into the abyss, supporting certain
recent scientific arguments that claim
to have irrefutable proof giant volcanoes
are driving Big Data technology today.
Sous-chef
Skeptics say there is
no easy way to test
claims that any loosely
defined subset of furry
ponchos, fur-lined flip-
flops, or sweater sets
adorned with brooches
will continue to float
when cream is added
to the pumpkin broth.
Three geographies: Puerto Montt
Earthquakes have eaten the eye
out of the cathedral. A fish was
caught on camera attacking &
eating a baby bird. There are
two sides to every story. These
are the first five to be displayed.
Bratislava
The oligarchs of the
Little Carpathians offer
redemption in the form
of chocolate-topped do-
nuts covered in rainbow
sprinkles. They ask only
for a sum of money to be do-
nated to ensure the efficacy
of their ministrations.
Gdańsk
The Teutonic Knights came &
went, usually accompanied
by bloodshed, until the minting
of Polish coins was regally
approved. Much later Freie Stadt Danzig. Then Lech Wałęsa
sometime after the city had re-
claimed its name. The diacritic
over the "n" is often omitted.
