I think we all needed a break from the thread topic. Even though it is ludicrous, it can't be much fun for them. That's why I like countersuits. It gives you your power back and puts you on an even footing. And it usually makes it a lot easier to agree to agree... I wonder if birdy wire every thinks about art.

TLC, . It was the culture that preceded Greeks I think, I can't recall. Anyway, they had this sarcophagus and some other stuff at the Met that was astounding. The word Mycenean comes to mind. I don't know if that is correct. You are probably thinking about the Minoans, who lived on Crete from about 1900 BC to 1450 BC. At that time, Myceans came to crete from the Greek mainland. Very interesting people, the bull is an important symbold, and very talented artisans. culture.gr <-- Text dilos.com <-- Clickable thumbs student.richmond.edu <-- photos of the palace of Knossos You know, its easier to find information about a 3800 year old civilization, then it is to information on an OTC:BB POS! BTW, one of my favorite modern artists is a Hungarina called Csontvary. Two of the greatest modern artists were born in 1853. One of them is a household name, Vincent Van Gogh, the other is unknown and unpronounceable, Kosztka Csontváry. Csontváry is little known outside Hungary But he does come highly recommended. As the story goes, when Picasso saw Csontvary's paintings for the first time, he was visibly affected and asked to be left alone with the paintings for over an hour. On emerging, Picasso, possibly one of the most egocentric men of the century, said 'I had not realised that there was another great artist of this century', a statement that sounds absurd until, like Picasso, one sees Csontváry's paintings. Csontváry's influence can be seen particularly in Chagall's work, and Picasso chided Chagall that he could not produce a painting half as good as one of Csontváry's... wykehamist.oaktree.co.uk To see his works, you have to go to the Csontvary museum in the Hungarian town of Pecs. If you're not going to be in the area, try the virtual tour...http://www.jpte.hu/pecs/csontvary/csontkepek.html In 1903, he painted some really nice paintings of Bosnia (which was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire). He had a nice one of the including the old bridge at Mostar (which is about 400 years old now), and the town of Mostar itself. jpte.hu pathologie-fuerth.de Of course in 1903 Mostar was a lot more peaceful than in this decade: warchild.org The brige looks a lot different too: samarkand.org hypertxt.com <-- A poetic point of view worldmedia.fr <-- One citizen's point of view bosnia.org.uk <-- One account of what happened to it Interesting little planet we have happening here. I wonder where its all heading ... this guy knows, but he isn't telling....http://www.jpte.hu/pecs/csontvary/tanito.jpg Best Regards, John Sladek EDIT: Double Zero. Woo hoo!
