- I notice the same kind of unfunny site from the same stumblers. How can I block a certain person's stumbles...? Never mind.

- From the site: The young Bagasse wed his childhood sweetheart, Gematria Pulverington-Wheatwhistle, heiress to the fabled Wheatwhistle tinsel-mining fortune. Gematria shared her husband's vision of a museum in Redbone that would attract worldwide attention and "really put the place on the map," as she so often put it. Bagasse had liberated many paintings from French restaurants, bars and bordellos, and this became the foundation for the Mumblestoats collection. As all collections profit from a common theme, the Mumblestoats decided to specialize in the art of the Depressionist school, which most other museums rejected as being too miserable, dejected and hopeless to warrant space on a wall. Depressionism, according to the landmark Johnson & Jansen "Big Book o' Art Stuff," is not limited to a single place or time. Instead it reflects the low point of an otherwise highly regarded artist's career. Picasso's "Blue Period" is a perfect example of this creative state of mind. Mrs. Mumblestoats describes it perfectly when she says "that boy was lower than an ant's bellybutton." "Rhino auf Dotz" Albrecht Dewar Dewar was one of sixteenth century Germany's most prolific etchists, as well as a notable teacher. To pass on his craft to the greatest number of students, each of whom paid him a handsome fee, Dewar developed a method of transferring student drawings directly to the copper engraving plate. This "Etch-a-Sketch" technique consisted of breaking up the line drawing into hundreds of tiny reference points, which were numbered sequentially and transferred to the plate. A student could then rapidly and effectively complete the engraving by using a burin or similar tool to connect the dots in the correct order. Unlike a similar technique, the Pointlessism of the 19th-century painter Georges Sureart, the drawings of Dewar and his school were executed only in black ink, since shades of gray were all that people saw until color was discovered a century later through Isaac Newton's landmark research.
