Smuggling Goods and Ejaculation Helmet

Anything you want me to bring back? Don't ask for stupid things like the "good earth" from the Shire. I'm not much of a gift shop person, but I'll try to get some junk. Anyone like sheep droppings?

Oh, and before I forget, here's a photo of the fabled Kakapo sperm helmet.


On this one, you can see it humping the lady's head...

Te Papa and the Zoo

If you're in Wellington, you need to go here. It's NZ's finest museum. There's four stories of history, art, culture, natural sciences and a helmet covered with Kakapo sperm. Kakapos are an endangered parrot species native to NZ. That helmet is actually pretty disgusting. I didn't bring my camera that day because it started off raining and was gray all morning.

I got to the bus stop at around 12pm when it went from light rain to downpour. The freezing wind didn't help either. After a 15 min wait, the bus picked and I made my way into the city. I stopped by a coffee shop for a warm mocha then walked out expecting more rain. But it was clear as day and was actually very nice. Having determined to spending a rainy day in a museum, I headed to Te Papa.

It was awesome! The natural history and past animals of NZ was probably my favorite. Everything was nicely displayed and interactive. It's just a fun place to go.

The Wellington Zoo is another story...Sara and I had originally wanted to do a Lord of the Rings tour for Kastle's sake, but they couldn't do it that day so we tried the Zoo. It's New Zealand's oldest Zoo and it sure looked like it. It was a rainy Sunday and it sucked. The Zoo sucked too...the best thing from the zoo were the warning signs.

Lightning over DC

Had a chance to take some photos tonight when the storm's passing through. Links to photos here.
