This is the full picture of what I posted yesterday.

It is a sculpture on a wall in La Rochell in France. What does it mean, what is it saying? You tell me.

Is Rob Bell really Mr Bennet?

Is it just me or does Mr Bennet from Hero's look spookily like Rob Bell? Judge for yourself (although more recent images of Bell in the most recent Nooma's give a more striking resemblance).

Knox, Knox, who's there?

"Knox, Knox, who's there?"

Ah it's John Knox, standing in the quadrangle of New College. He used to stand proudly on the Royal Mile outside St Gilies cathedral, but he got moved, and while New College is perhaps as good a place as any for him to stand it does mean he's a little hidden away.

Perhaps this is a parable for Scotland's relationship to Christianity, the church or the bible. "We" don't mind it still being there so long as it's not out in the public sphere but his hidden away in the religious quadrangle.

Is that Jim up there?

This picture hangs on the wall in Rainy Hall. The first time I saw it I took a double look and asked myself, "is that Jim up there?"

Uncanny or what!
