Watchmen

Watchmen comes out tomorrow! I'd have gone for a Watchmen theme or something, but at this point it'd be too little, too late.

lol@expression

I'm going to see it tomorrow, I think, and from the trailer (which I got on my iPod for free, only to realize that it was still a waste because I'd only really watch it like once anyway :P), it does look really good. The snow day on Monday still has me thinking a day behind, though, but when I catch up I'm probably going to realize that I'm not gonna be able to finish (or even start :P) the graphic novel (read: cooler name for a comic book :P) before I see the movie. :shrugs:

 

Moving along, it turns out that "Vitruvian" (ala "Vitruvian Man", ala Kanohi Ignika, ala Mata Nui) isn't a word. At least, it's not in my dictionary. <<

Turns out that Vitruvis was an architect, actually considered the "first architect". Really, he was just the first one whose papers survived, because he does mention previos architectural works. And, yeah, he was Roman. Apparently when daVinci drew his Virtuvian Man (which is really just supposed to be a reference of accurate human proportions), he based the design on Vitruvius's work.

And now you know... the rest of the story!
