Does the statue have one glove on?

Dituri bends the record.

At which point in his transformation does the statue look like Michael Jackson?

The statue was here first, so Michael Jackson looks like it, not the other way around.

I love the hee hee.

And the bodies of delusionally entitled morons who “have the right to touch anything” are carried off daily by the caretakers of the deadly plants in that garden.

May the ward be with you as it is with the internees, and gesundheit.

How long do nuclear submarines and their crews stay submerged? They only need to replenish their food supplies.

interesting…they’re afraid the plants will escape

Maybe Michael Jackson’s hyperbaric chamber was secretly a time machine?

Not only does Alnwick Castle have the poisonous garden, but it appears that several Harry Potter movies were filmed there as well.

Michael Jackson is actually the second coming of Jesus. According to the Bible’s Book of Michael (Chapter 19, Verse 26): And he shall return, and resemble the likeness of an Egyptian God. He will walk the highways of the earth and the byways of the moon but no one will recognize him as the returning Son until the endtimes. (Note: Plain English Version)

One of the reasons the 2009 discovery of that frog made news was it was the world’s smallest known vertebrate, displacing a Indonesian fish.

I would say Michael Jackson looks like the statue, since he came later and had surgeries to acquire the look.

Shouldn’t it be that, Michael Jackson looked like the 3000 year old Egyptian Statue …………… ;)

Michael Jackson before or after his surgeries?

I previously read of a mosquito-sized frog, but I can’t find it again.

I wonder if the poison garden has a souvenir shop.

There was a Facebook posting about that Poison Garden (I presume it’s the same one). The caption was “Is there a gift shop?”

Subs have always interested me; I read that the crew was on an 18 hour day instead of a 24 hour day: 6 duty; 6 sleep and 6 whatever

I wonder if Michael had his plastic surgeon alter his appearance so that he looked like the statue, with the idea that people would say “that statue looks like Michael Jackson”!!! and therefore all but cement his quest for immortality?

And what would the purpose of this “poison garden” be?The Borgias are supposedly dead

Here is an article and picture of the actual statue. The right eye looks kind of crooked on the actual statue compared to the RBION drawing.
