Google Shakespeare

Just when they're ramping up their Evil, Google goes and does a thing:

http://google.com/shakespeare

Pretty nice way to search various editions of Shakespeare's texts.  I wouldn't have thought that literature sites was a market that Google felt needed to be crushed, but there you go.

I approve of this, if only for the reason that it gives me another chance to use the phrase "making the beast with two backs".

Because it is such a deliciously ugly phrase.

In fact, I may have to start using it in real life all the time.


Cause.. you know... I'm clearly not creepy enough in real life anyway, er.

Q, you are allowed to use it for now, but once I get to St Louis, I expect it to stop. I will not be within 50 miles of someone using that phrase.

also: have you seen the Chihuly exhibit? I heard it is pretty awesome from a girl.

Man I don't even think they'd let me into a place where it said "exhibit" on the front.


But seriously, I am not into glass so much, so um, no I haven't.

I think it was Chihuly a few years ago in Chicago - he installed dozens of his pieces in and among the plantings of a large park conservatory. It got great reviews and people said it was pretty dramatic.

"Hey baby, want to come up to my place and make the beast with two backs?"

Hmm. Nah, it isn't going to work.

Well now I have.  There's pictures on flickr.  I didn't go for that reason, he just happened to be overrunning the gardens with his retarded glass.

There was one bit that was pretty neat but mostly I was annoyed that it was busy on a Thursday when it's usually dead during the week and so many slow old people there to see glass that looks like sperm.  I mean really.. it didn't blow me away.

Dunno about the glass, but that's a lot of nice reptile pictures.

There would have been a lot more if I hadn't run out of memory cards.
