The Footed Bowl from the NY Metropolitan Museum of Art. I have a replica in my house, because this is one of the coolest pieces of pottery ever.
William, the Blue Hippo, the Met's unofficial mascot, and the inspiration for my first tattoo. I admire hippos' strength and ferocity.
Hatshepsut, the female pharaoh.
This is Lucy (Austrolopithecus). I wept when I saw her. It was like looking at the mother of us all.
What random things cross your mind?
