M1

The standard issue rifle for the United States miliatry during World War II. It came in two models, the wildy distributed M1 Garand, and teh M1 Carbine. The M1 Garand had a clip of 8 shots, but the magazine could not be reloded unless it was completly spent.

I decided to play MOH Spearhead toady, and I also used the M1 as my main gun.

Goth/Gothic

A style of art, popular in Europe from the late 12th century to the early 16th century. It is also known as the International Style. Gothic art is mainly remembered in architecture. It was created by Abbot Sugert (Shu-ger). He planed to renovate the Cathedral of St. Denis, outside of Paris. Other famous gothic cathedrals include: Notre Dame, Chartres, Milan, and Pisa. The "Leaning Tower of Pisa" is actually the bell tower for that cathedral.

Gothic sculpture became more realistic, however, the forms tended to be elongated.

Gothic painting, like sculpture, had elongated forms, and was quite realistic. However, the artists failed to grasp vanishing point perspective. The most famous Gothic painter was Giotto.

I visited the Padua cathedral and saw Giotto's work. It was if he reinvented painting.

UFO

Unidentified Flying Object. Has evolved from a simple military classification to a word synonomous with aliens, Roswell, conspiracy theories, and general paranormal nuts.

It's a UFO! Oh, wait, it's an airplane. Or a pie plate. Or a crazy person.

Also known as the VRWC.

1. This is a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy against me and my husband.

2. Of course I'm a member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Isn't everybody?
