That last post on LJ was a little obscure, wasn't it? Contextless ducks. Ducks are one of the funniest animals though, and as a few of you pointed out, I have mine in a row.

This post is about ducks and dicks, actually. I've heard back from Suzanne, who I think I can confidently state at this point is my source within the Art Institute Museum. :D Our exchange over Apollo And His Metaphorical Dick Slaying Python generated another post on the ARTIC blog, including a link back to my original post which, as Suzanne pointed out, is getting a little meta. But at the ARTIC blog post you can see a closeup of the defaced Apollo and his massive quiver, in case you were curious.

Every time I go to the exhibit I see something I missed before. This latest time, I saw a reliquary with the actual relic still inside, which a) WAS AWESOME, I've never seen a piece of a saint before, and b) I guess means when I visit the Art Institute Museum I see bones everywhere. But honestly, if you're in Chicago from now through July 10th, you really should try to catch the exhibit. Tomorrow is a free-admission day all day long!

Go on. You know you want to play hooky to go to the art museum and look at Renaissance peen.

And if you're really feeling conservative, they also have American Gothic, you know.

AHRT!

Beer or no beer, should you get/take that AIC job, please drop by P+D and introduce yourself. Especially, as your icon/badge appears to look suspiciously like one belonging to Sam Vimes . . . Sadly there was no way to work Discworld into the exhibition, likewise the fact that Adam's two hearts made him look suspiciously like a Time Lord.

Thank you! I'll certainly stop by depending on circumstances. (and yes, my icon is Sam's badge!)

I was TOTALLY going to make a Time Lord joke and then thought, if she doesn't know what a Time Lord is that's just going to be strange...
