OH GOD I WANT THESE SO BAD

From Alexander the Great to Jane Austen to Jesus ... every action figure you can imagine. The avenging unicorn and the mime ... I almost fell off my chair laughing. I really want to buy the crazy cat lady for someone I know because that's probably how she's going to end up ...

Just a bit more on the volcano front

Apparently the number of people killed by volcanoes in Alaska during recorded history is ... one.

Just about any other natural phenomena in our state (with the exception of the aurora) seems to have killed more people than that.

Still not something I have any tremendous desire to experience up close, though.
