	Saturday May 29 2010 v 6 n 46 view this issue	Welcome to the 306th issue, which has a large but more nearly normal number of topics -- and yet, I'm sure we'd all still enjoy seeing New Chinese terracotta warrior displays original paint and Chola period plates, icons unearthed and even Neither today's Greeks nor Britons own the Parthenon marbles if only for the knock-down drag-out controversy. Apropos of nothing, here's the post a topic link. Swordmaker will be interested in the recent success of an ongoing experiment. :') Thanks go in alphabetical order to autumnraineBiggirl, blam, bruinbirdman, C19fan, Colonel Kangaroo, Daffynition, DaveLoneRanger, DogByte6RER, decimon, Ernest_at_the_Beach, FootBall, Free ThinkerNY, gobucks, JoeProBono, markomalley, NYer, Oyarsa, PatrickHenry, PRePublic, presidio9, SeekAndFind, and shibumi for contributing the topics this week.

Katy Texas, near Houston has a strange tourist attraction called Forbidden Gardens that was build by a Seattle millionaire named Poon.

Detailed models of Chinese life are exhibited here, but the feature attraction is the army of 1/3 life size terra cotta warriors that are exact replcas of those found in the Han Emperors tomb.

I say the place is strange because it doesn’t get much tourist traffic. I went out there on a Wed. morning and there were only 5 visitors. I don’t know how the place keeps running. Poon must give massive financial suport.
