They're there in the background, Annette. You can hardly see them, so I've enhanced and zoomed in on the painting...http://www.nerdtests.com/mq/testimages/61661_388c9bc50a12bed70ee9.jpg

I think I can just see them... over on the far left, on the horizon? That's them! Sitting there sipping their double ristretto latte's, eating donuts and mocking us.

LOL. Eating donuts on a yacht, huh? At least we're lucky to be on the internet out seen of reach from one another. I believe that on the actual raft of the Medusa the people turned to cannibalism. (Look who's talking. A grown woman who just returned from electrocuting cute little bunnies.)I do feel as though we are voices in the wilderness here. Nothing seems to be getting fixed. A game is supposed to RELIEVE tension. Not CAUSE it. This is like a parttime job. Witb no paycheck. Perhaps if we all took the weekend off. Anyone for a game of Scrabble?

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

Best. War. Movie. Ever. :)

It's a great one, but my favorite is

I'll admit, I had to reverse google image search it, but this was a very fitting art selection. From Wikipedia:

The Raft of the Medusa (French: Le Radeau de la M?duse) is an oil painting of 1818?1819 by the French Romantic painter and lithographer Th?odore G?ricault (1791?1824). Completed when the artist was 27, the work has become an icon of French Romanticism. At 491 cm ? 716 cm (193.3 in ? 282.3 in), it is an over-life-size painting that depicts a moment from the aftermath of the wreck of the French naval frigate M?duse, which ran aground off the coast of today's Mauritania on July 5, 1816. At least 147 people were set adrift on a hurriedly constructed raft; all but 15 died in the 13 days before their rescue, and those who survived endured starvation and dehydration and practiced cannibalism. The event became an international scandal, in part because its cause was widely attributed to the incompetence of the French captain perceived to be acting under the authority of the recently restored French monarchy.
