    You should give some of us god powers so we can delete spam. The spam above makes it look like the comments are broken. I refreshed a few times until I noticed the scroll bar.

  10. I dig the scuba gallery. Never thought I’d see the day when knitters become badass defacers of public property - funny!

    There’s something rather disconcerting about J’s pirate impression…
    But she might be on to something. Maybe a solar pirate shield?

      The 2nd amendment protects my right to become a pirate. If pirates are outlawed, only outlaws will be pirates.

    Bare breasted babes & naked men crewing on Theseus\’ ship, gotta love that!

    Also seen in Stockholm:

    \”OK boys, off to the next car\”

    Love the way Joanne says \”scheduled\” & she\’d be great in the next Pirates movie, eyarrr?

  12. To the Theseus\’ ship question, I have determined this. The statement Theseus\’ ship, means that he has ownership of the boat, so it still is Theseus\’ ship because if he were resurrected, he would receive custody of the ship, regardless of how many planks had been replaced. If you don\’t play with the wording though, it still would be the same ship today, because if a boat is registered, it\’s registration remains the same regardless of the replacement of a part. But that doesn\’t apply to Theseus\’ time, when there was less nautical bureaucracy. This one is much harder then most other classic questions.
    For example:
    If a tree falls, and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Yes, a falling tree is moving and all moving creates vibration, and all vibrations can be heard as sound. But even easier is; what is the sound of one hand clapping? woosh.

    1. I\’m going to suggest that the form is still the ship of Theseus\’, but the boat is never the same boat from one moment to the next.

    Re: Your question about Theseus’s ship. Are you still the same person, even though pretty much all of your cells have been replaced over time?

    1. Every cell in your body is completed regenerated every 7 years. Imagine the brain you had 7 years ago, isnot the brain you have now….So who are you? or Who am I? Where did the \”you\” that was you go?

  15. One of the most creative artwork I\’ve seen in a long time. The environment for the work creates both an incredibly peaceful as well as an eerie feeling at times. Marvelous work. Incredibly inventive.

    1. I am flattered to have been invited on your show. Unfortunately I do not have access to a digital camera, otherwise I would fling out some political dessert. That being said, should you accept, here is a video I found on YouTube that basically expresses the state of politics and politicians today. (Be open and extrapolate its deeper meaning. It\’s a brilliant portrayal of the vacuous promises and hollow agendas of each candidate as they \”gallup\” from poll to poll. ) I hope you will feature it. It does run for 2 minutes though. Thanks again, Rob & Will for your kind gesture. If Larry, Curly & Moe & Joe were still with us today, I think they\’d (nyuk, nyuk, nyuk) agree with me.

      Yours truly,
      B-man
