Why do we Litify everything?

I see a thread talking about computer systems and referring to a 'backend problem'.


Where does my mind go?
@Five_Inch_Heels,
Yes, I see what you mean... there was I, sitting happily watching "The Matrix" part something or other and just enjoying the general entertainment when one of the characters mentioned "finding a back door into the system" Really! I mean I had to turn it off and watch "The Hunt for Red October" instead.

Do you think we spend too much time here analysing, de-constructing and re-constructing the elements of sexual activity? Have we all become sex-crazed robo-fiends out to dominate (no pun intended) the world and turn it into our own private "Alice/Alex in Wonderlust Land"? (Hey, now there's an idea!!! a sex crazed centipede with a hooker, ahhh, hookah... (or both! And it ain't no small cake that says "Eat Me")

Sometimes I wonder... and yes, wander...!
Deeply respectful, as ever,
D.
 
Alternatively, the Norwegian sculptor Vigeland (mid 20th century, love his work, but he was a f-ing nazi sympathizer) sculpted a statue of a nude male toddler who was unrealistically well endowed for the age. It's one of the statues in the park on Oslo filled with his statues. I would post a picture of it here, but I'm afraid it would get zapped.
 
Yeah, what about those teeny tiny todgers? Was that typical of men in ancient Greece? Or were they just being polite?
Ancient Greeks found tiny todgers more aesthetically appealing.

What I wanna know is whether all of the ancient models shaved their bodies, or if the sculptors found carving body hair too hard and so ignored it.

He was in the Renaissance, but somebody supposedly asked Michelangelo how he worked with marble. This has to be apocryphal, but his answer was, "I just take away the stone I don't need." Yeah, but he couldn't put any of it back.

Don't be too sure. A colleague of mine some years ago showed off his newborn son's endowment. It stretched half-way down the infant's thigh.
 
I have a new theory about the teeny tiny todgers: if they made them large, every person passing the statue would be compelled to reach out and touch it.

Admit it: you would. Everyone would. It's human nature.
 
@Five_Inch_Heels,
Well, I was going to mention the penchant for having water features in the higher class gardens that featured little fellows/ cherubs or whatever weeing into the font... however, out of deference to you my dear colleague, I shan't.
Deeply respectful, always,
D.
