Who's buried in Grant's tomb?

(I got credit in HS for answering this question with something like "no one is buried. It's a tomb. It's above ground.)

Always thinking outside the casket.

And the technical truth is both Grant and his wife are interred there. You know, if you like to be a smartass, like I have on occasion.

Absolutely. Those who answered that had the correct answer. Like I said, my brain doesn't work quite like everyone else's brain. I was just excited that I got credit because it is true, it just isn't the preferred answer.

There are true white horses, but they are very rare.

I checked out Celestia several years ago; is it greatly different since then?

I'm going to show it to the kids. The boy has a revolving solar system above his bed.

Just saw this over on BoingBoing.

It's a website that automates the process of doing tilt shift photography where you take a regular picture and make it look like it's a little miniature set.

Here's a really intricate model I built of me in Venice.
