Venice is pretty spectacular, worth putting up with the crowds and bloody expensive but should be on everyones list of places to see.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

That crazy bond villain artist Dale Chihuly did a bunch of crazy art in Venice. He's a glass blower, so he made a bunch of glass spheres and what not and then threw them into the canals and sea. Isn't Venice literally sinking into the ocean though?

I guess that's what happens when you make a city on a salt water lagoon by pile driving logs into the marsh and then building heavy stone buildings on top.
