"the German Protestant Church criticized the idea as 'tasteless'...

'It is terrible that Jesus is being wrapped up in gold foil and sold along with chocolate bunnies, edible penguins and lollipops,' said Aegidius Engel, a spokesman for the archbishopric of nearby Paderborn.

Prairie Perspective

Kiosk Hello:

From an interview on NPR

“I watched prairie dogs every day, rise before the sun, stand with their paws pressed together facing the rising sun in total still­ness for up to 30 minutes,” says Williams. “And then I watched them at the end of the day take that same ges­ture 30 min­utes before the sun goes down they would press their palms together in per­fect still­ness. I don’t mean to anthro­po­mor­phize, but when you look at a crea­ture that has sur­vived over the mil­len­nium begin and end each day in that kind of stance, it causes one to think about one’s own life and speed and rapid­ity in which we live.”

Yes, I'm going to hell. I've accepted that.
