Tears of Grief - from Moscow

I thought this was awesome...



From wikipedia:

"To the Struggle Against World Terrorism (also known as the Tear of Grief and the Tear Drop Memorial), is a 10-story-high sculpture by Zurab Tsereteli that was given to the United States as an official gift of the Russian government as a memorial to the victims of the September 11 attacks and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing"

The Base System

Remember how back in highschool, it was normal to hear about what "base" someone had reached? You know... 1st base was typically kissing. I was always a little foggy on what 2nd base actually was. I always imagined it was heavy petting, but that was a guess at best. I figured 3rd base was really just heavier heavy petting. And a home run was... well... pretty obvious.


So a quick recap: 1st base (kiss), 2nd base (?), 3rd base (???), and home run (XxX).


And more than likely, I would have lived out the remainder of my life never truly understanding what 2nd or 3rd base was, had I not stumbled onto this from xkcd.com...

While somewhat explicit, the bases are clearly defined and quantified.

Mystery solved.
