Leo!!

Tomorrow I'm going to some Leonardo exhibition, not the ninja turtle but some other guy who is apparently famous for painting a picture of someone smiling, which is not all that special a thing. I'm pretty sure that heaps of people have been pictured smiling, even me. My mum saw that picture and she said it was small. Who am I to judge tho? Someone paid like $8000000 for The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, which I am pretty sure is just an embalmed shark.





In my science room in high school there was a bunch of jars filled with embalmed snakes and the like. If I knew they were worth millions of dollars I probably would have stolen them, been rich and content and gone to hell .





Leo, as he likes to called by friends, features prominently in this game Assassin's Creed 2. Ass Creed 2, as it likes to be called by friends, unsurprisingly features lots of killing (or assassinating). You, the player, play the role of “Guy in hood and half cloak” (GIHAHC) and go around killing people because they killed your family. That's pretty much the plot of Star Wars but I'm not accusing anyone of stealing. Especially as my millions were obtained through the illicit sale of embalmed science room stuff. Oh wait that never happened, leaving me desperately poor and lonely. Curses...

Anyway, Leo spends the whole game hanging around his workshop, building implements of death for GIHAHC, who in turn massacres everyone in Italy, then kills the pope. (Ha! Spoiled the ending for you, you kill the pope at the end. Not the current pope but some ye olde one.) It kind of bothers me that Leo hangs around with someone like GIHAHC. He always seemed like such a stand up guy. Or perhaps I am confusing the real guy with Leonard of Quirm. I think the exhibition has all sorts of models built of his stuff, like the ENNOGEHT. I've written previously of my likenessness of things that look like things but are small, so hopefully it will be good.

things that look like other things but are small are indeed awesome
