The irrational yet irrestible urge to know or make known. The CC is a "club" founded by a small group of medical professionals, who have made a pastime of turning medical cases and discussions into medically irrelevant history lessons, philosophical rants, and displays of one-upsmanship. The official premise, since the "club" was named, has been to exchange and discuss various books, movies, and ideas. Sometimes we eat sushi.

Are You in Good Hands?
That is the question on the banner below the car hanging precariously off the Marina Tower in Chicago. This is a pretty clever advertising scheme for Allstate. Apparently there is a video of a car driving off this building into the Chicago river available on the company's website but I couldn't get it to play on my computer so I haven't seen it yet.
By the way, you should be ashamed of yourself if noticed the phallic monument before seeing the car hanging off the building.
The movie with the car leaving the Marina car park and going into the Chicago River was "The Hunter" with Steve McQueen. Made in 1980 it was his last movie before he died.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the fortuitous juxtaposition of the globes and the pillar, I did not notice until it was pointed out. It was somewhat reminiscent of the phallic Effiel Tower photo recently posted on this blog--granted no orbs to complete the picture.
Now that blogger has spell ck maybe I will not miss too many words.
