-pictures of topless men flagellating themselves raw in sorrow over this prophets death
-listening to crazy men atop ladders in Hyde Park at Speaker's Corner (where anyone can get up and speak about anything) There was a sizable crowd there today listening to this man with olive oil pretty much bash in the least politically correct way possible every race/nationality. and no one was getting mad. it was amazing
-participating in Speaker's Corner when I admitted that Hillary and I were American so that the guys made way for us to come up front and then the crazy speaker made fun of Americans while we laughed along with him and got proposed to
