Welcome to ...

The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth.
Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

The vast, vivid geography of our planet stretched out before him - a giant canvas of contrasting colours and textures. He was the first of his species to see our planet in such glorious aspect.
