On safari the other day, I saw this example of what they (around here) call barn art. It's usually a loft door, sometimes the main doors, or the side of the barn.

It's called the Y Bridge (can ya figger out why?) The story said Ripley's Believe It or Not refers to it as the only bridge in the world that you can cross and still be on the same side of the river.

Not so, you'll cross one river or another.

The Fortune Cookie Chronicles, by Jennifer 8. Lee, is worth a read if you're interested in where fortune cookies, General Tso's Chicken, and other "Chinese" food staples came from.
