If the Pope hears that a bear has converted to the Free Church, does the he shit himself (in the woods)?

Zen question:

In the artist’s studio, we played her 1995 Puppet Motel on a blue iBook G3 and talked about technology, cyberspace, and abstraction.

If you ask me to give one defining aspect of the character of Hooklanders, it would be their refusal to have their sense of awe diminished. They refuse to be disenchanted. Modernity is no barrier to their sense of encroaching otherworlds. Even in suburbia, they maintain wonder. – Dr. M. Benn

A Roman jug handle in deep blue glass with a stamped face medallion. A small disc of hot glass was pressed into a mould, then applied to the vessel before the handle was shaped. Many faces are generic. This one is probably Bacchus or Silenus rather than Medusa.

Cobalt blue Roman glass fragment from a jug handle, the base decorated with a small moulded face medallion, probably Bacchus or Silenus. The thick pulled handle rises from the medallion and spreads into two wing-like flares where it would have joined the vessel wall. Surface shows bubbles and wear; object is propped on a clear mount against a bright background.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right)
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy?
What the hammer that hath hewn it
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee,
Or an external franchisee?
