is awesome. A living fossil... feudalism at its finest. *love*.

I think I saw that village in Hot Fuzz.

JTC, I just got done reading that and was thinking the same thing! Especially the running off of the gypsies part!

Read the story in the sidebar about the lady who cloned her pitbull. Wow.

did you Urika's rack while you were there? I got sucked in by the "36-I cup boobs", cos that's an issue close to my heart, if you'll pardon the pun. But what gets me is that she says she's carrying a "whopping" 5 stone extra, after 4 kids, and to me, she really doesn't look like it. (That is, until you see the "before" shots and realise how freaking skinny she was to begin with.)

did you *look at* Urika... i can't type with a baby on my head.

Sweet! Hey, if it works ...

i just read a book called "A Much Married Man" and the protagonist owned the entire village. his family had for years. very good book BTW, i recommend.

wow mamawho, i read the cloed dog one. what a complete headcase. damn.

Wait you have a baby on your... head? I've just spent a full minute trying to picture how that works. Have come up with some pretty entertaining options...

Yeah that village looks great. Our system may try and brainwash us that it is the best one, but the truth is it's just the best one we've got. (to paraphrase a famous quote)
