But half the world has no idea about the awkward turtle, sadly.

Do you add the awkward turtle hand movement too?

I love awkward silences when I'm interviewing someone suspected of theft or fraud.

When faced with a long pause many interviewees will say almost anything to fill the silence, often dropping themselves even further in it. I'm mean.

Yes, indeed! Although I don't do it very often because it seriously makes things ten times more awkward..and also confuses people sometimes

I would fall even more silent and possibly cry if someone said that to me.

Why has this thread not been killed in the face yet?

[tombland]

Because the mods don't understand the internets, obviously

It's The Community Room, where people can post wank and - as long as they're not, like, terrorists or peadophiles - it has to remain unmoderated...

Feel free to turn it into Piefest '08, though.

Cheerio, Michael. xxx

I think Epic Fail Guy on page 1 kinda summed it up already.

I think that given the absence of anything interesting to discuss, we should use this thread to discuss Renaissance art.

I'll start with Crivelli, what an awesome dude:

This is apparently St Stephen, I think it is a detail from a larger piece but I'm not sure what:



And one of my personal favourite paintings ever, "Annunciation with St Emidius":



I was at a talk by a UFO expert, who claimed that the beam of light from heaven was in fact a portrayal of a visitation by aliens, in a spaceship. What bollocks! Get a fucking grip.

I like how Renaissance art shifted into Mannerism. Renaissance artists spent all that time pontificating on perspective and proportion, and later artists just... disregarded it.
