The Pale Blue Dot
"We succeeded in taking that picture [from deep space], and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam." - Carl Sagan, 11th February 1996

Check it out, with much thanks for the inspiration.
Ah the Harbin ice festival. One of those "nearly saw that" moments. Was up in northern China one year and heard it was going on, but was heading in a slightly different direction with a few folks and their time restraints meant a diversion wasn't possible. Prior to that there were rumours that they'd put the idea on ice for that year. Others said they'd given it the cold shoulder.
Did you end up at the comedy pun college then, Alexander?

Terrible, weren't they. Getting more like my father everyday (which i suppose isn't surprising considering he played more than a small part in my creation). Aaaaanyway, time for bed me thinks. Only had 3 hours sleep last night. Sleep. Muuust sleeeeeep. Zzzzzz!!!
