Re: One More (Possibly Unusual) Info Request
If you haven't been to the Royal Greenwich Observatory yet, there's a statue of Yuri Gagarin there, a gift from Роскосмос, the Russian Space Agency. It's a copy of a statue in the town where Gagarin trained as a steel foundry worker. I was at the Observatory in the summer, before I knew, and I regret I didn't notice the statue! I saw it in its original location, though, near Trafalgar Square. http://www.rmg.co.uk/royal-observatory/astronomy-and-time-galleries/gagarin-statue http://forum.greenwich.co.uk/threads/yuri-gagarin-statue-in-greenwich.171/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/04/06/gagarin_statue/

Those spiders are pretty good at framing innocent sheep. They /all/ /look/ innocent.
