“’But I don’t want to go among mad people,’ Alice remarked.
‘Oh, you can’t help that,’ said the Cat. ‘We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.’
‘How do you know I’m mad?’ said Alice.
‘You must be,” said the Cat. ‘or you wouldn’t have come here.’”

Dr. Egon Spengler: There’s something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Don’t cross the streams.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I’m fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, “bad“?

Dr Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Right. That’s bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.

The Napoleon of Crime
Scotland Yard called him the the Napoleon of Crime. The Pinkertons called him the most remarkable criminal of them all. Adam Worth
started as a pickpocket in New York and eventually became one of the
greatest criminals of all time and the inspiration behind Sherlock
Holmes’ nemesis Professor Moriarty.
One of Worth’s famous thefts is considered the first modern art theft. In 1876 Adam Worth stole Thomas Gainsborough’s The Duchess of Devonshire
after it was recently sold at auction for 10,000 guineas, making it the
most expensive painting ever sold at the time. Worth kept the painting
until 1901, when the Pinkertons helped him ransom the painting back to
the Agnew & Sons gallery he stole it from (Agnew & Sons then
sold the painting to JP Morgan, who’s father had original intended to
buy the painting from Agnew before the theft). Worth intended to use
the ransom money to retire from his life of crime. He died one year later in 1902.
Listen to the story of the daring theft at The Association for Research into Crimes Against Art’s (ARCA) first podcast.

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway…
On Sunday New York City closed two of the busiest sections of perhaps
the most famous street in the U.S. to traffic and created pedestrian
plazas in the “Crossroads of the World” (and also in Herald Square) [brief plan / NYCDOT detailed plan].
Spearheaded by Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan (featured in an excellent New York Magazine article)
and the Bloomberg Administration as part of the “Green Light for
Midtown” program, the pedestrian malls are ostensibly a pilot program
to determine the feasibility of permanent conversion later this year,
with the stated goal of increasing traffic flow through midtown (warning PDF).
Criticism from motorists, especially taxi drivers (New York Post), and for the quality of the chairs and planters used in the conversion aside (New York Times Architecture Review), the urban plazas have received generally favorable reviews (New York Times YouTube channel, NYDailyNews.com, AMNY) and national attention.
