"I watched a Silver Swan which had a living grace about his movements and a living intelligence in his eyes - watched him swimming about as comfortably and unconcernedly as it he had been born in a morass instead of a jeweller's shop - watched him seize a silver giraffe from under the water and hold his head and go through all the customary and elaborate motions of swallowing it ...".
-- Mark Twain, Innocents Abroad

The movie of the swan in action requires RealPlayer.

I think it works better when there is only one forum

Well, with just one forum things are a little constrained - at least with the multiple sections people have room to spread out, and I can't speak for the other mods, but I'm pretty lax about "on-topic-ness" and like any decent conversation, enjoy letting things float about and mutate, like the Toxic Avenger.

Now I am forced to wonder -- what would have happened had Twain seen "The Toxic Avenger?" What kind of review could be possibly have written? "I watched a made-up actor who had a living grace about his movements, at least considering the weight of the latex he wore..."
