I suppose today is a Thursday Twofer edition, first up a prickly looking cactus from my Red Rock Canyon set at Flickr. It was late afternoon, and the sun was where all the good views were, so if I want to hit that as a photo spot, should do it in the morning.
Next up, just a prick, not just any prick though, but a reproduction (at Caesar's Palace) of Michelangelo's interpretation of what a young Goliath-slaying David's prick looks like. Didn't Michelangelo know about the whole God's Chosen and getting circumcised thing? Guess not, or his favorite model was as God made him, and couldn't bring himself to alter him, even in statue form. Someone scratched in a poorly shaped heart on his inner thigh, I would imagine restoring this reproduction is an easier process than fixing the original, so hopefully they'll fix that soon. Also of note, clearly David didn't use any performance enhancing drugs to improve his slinging ability, cause his 'berries' look quite round and full, unlike (I suspect) most power hitters in Major League Baseball.
I'm heading over to Getty Villa today, so look forward to many more marble appendages for you to peruse at.
