Sometimes, when slacking just after lunch, talking on the phone with vendors, etc, I go into a trance.  And when I come out...I see my web browser pointing to something like this.

They have those statues of the Colonel in front of every KFC in Japan.  I did a photo op with the Colonel in Shibuya district.

I thought you were making a joke about Sanders and that it was actually the curse of some military figure. Wow.
