Bring me my spear, o, clouds unfold...

8. Yes, it is a man's life taking off your clothes in public, but
it's a pig's life in the army.

Also, it's that Terry Jones? Didn't he also do a striptease while he was talking about finance?

9. Yeah, in episode 20
"But I pledge that should we join the Common Market — even maintaining the present position on subsidies — we will never jeopardize, we will never compromise our unique relationship with the Commonwealth countries."







I think TJ was a latent ecdysiast. :D

11. HAWT. ;)
:evilgrin: Too bad he didn't take it all off. ;)

It certainly is a man's life taking off your clothes in public, Mr. Jones... :)

13. That's nifty, but

Vermeer to Eternity has the best onscreen kiss.

(Edited, because the joke is funnier when spelled correctly...)

15. Seriously, though
The tapestry (drapery?) in the left foreground is amazing--you can almost smell it.

Excellent lighting, too.

16. Yes, you can almost touch the drapery.
Also, the map on the wall is so detailed. :)

I love Vermeer's sense of light.
