1. To the right is a hallowed out chunk of rock there to show that, if you put your head inside and hum (like the dork in the photo), you hear a vibration. They have a structure dedicated to this. And these people gave us Einstein.
2. Who Let the Dogs Out? You want to make a grand statement using a phrase from popular culture and you choose the Baha Men? Was the “Macarena” taken?
3. The Sounds’ manager John Davis suggested I visit the White Trash Fast Food club, so I headed over for their bi-weekly Kill ‘Em All metal fest. Certainly big riffs and heavy chords were on the menu, but then the DJ threw in some Beach Boys. I understand the Surf Punks or the Butthole Surfers, but the Beach Boys? Then again, maybe the rumors are true that Slayer’s “Reign in Blood” was inspired by little “Surfer Girl.”
4. Two bears facing each other, one black and one white — is this a symbol of inter-racial harmony or just a reflection of the world markets?
5. Come on! Since when did Pinocchio become a cross dresser!?!
6. Ausfahrt: Um, how exactly is this word pronounced?
7.Is there a major city in the world that doesn’t have a Blue Man Group? They’re like the Amway of the Arts. If you look a bit like Moby and will dose yourself in paint, you could start a new group in your hometown. Just curious, anyone ever checked if Slipknot has toured different places at the same time?
8. A topless juggler on a cold and partly rainy day in Tiergarten — it’s good to know that New York’s Central Park doesn’t have the monopoly on ALL these guys.
9. Is it just me, or does it seem weird that Berlin would have a stage production of “The Producers” with all its Hitler and Nazi themes? Wouldn’t that be like America doing a comedy set during the civil war?
10. Is this a water fountain or a decoration on the left? I imagine the latter, but on a hot day like today, it sure is tempting.
