You Wish to go to Ancient Rome, Zox?

Be careful what others think you wish for.

Some people call Earth a spaceship, and say that it's getting overcrowded. But in countries like Japan, the population is declining.

Here is another picture of a 4-ton chocolate Christmas tree made by chocolatier Patrick Roger for France's annual Telethon. The site posting this, by the way, is actually a chocolate-lover's guide to Paris, so if you're planning an expedition there, give it a look.

I wonder if anyone has ever made a chocolate birch bark canoe, or a giant chocolate maple leaf.

Here is yet another amazing photo of a demolition machine reaching high into the air to destroy an old building. This one is so good, I'd like to put it up in our living room, but when I mentioned it to my wife, she said 'NO WAY!' for some reason.

There's no accounting for taste, I guess.

The site posting it is Gelog Construction Equipment, and their motto is "obsessed about the construction equipment industry''. I like that--it's a good, healthy obsession. I think people should spend less time playing video games, and more time driving around in demolition machines, destroying things.

Tie me kangaroo down, sport.....

I'm an Undead Frog, Mind You!

In the race to develop an undead frog, no nation has achieved supremacy, although Toronto, under Mayor Vlod Ironbeak, has assembled a team of researchers, and may soon pull into the lead.

There's still time to develop a multi-national treaty banning the use of undead frogs in all conflicts. The consequences of an undead frog war are too terrible to contemplate, though I, in the interests of serving humanity, have contemplated just such horrors, and am here to tell you that they are unimaginable.

If the unthinkable happens, and an undead frog war breaks out, here is what you should include in your survival kit.

Here are some chocolate teddy bear cake decoration disks, from the cakescookiesandcraftsshop.co.uk. Don't eat them all at once, unless you want to.

Here is a chocolate Christmas tree from Italy that was made with 60 kgs of chocolate. This definitely solves the problem of what to do with the tree once the festive season is over.

And here is a picture of an excavator, in case you want to excavate something.

Somewhere, over the rainbow....
