I'm just wondering if that was to justify laying down.

Because if you crane your neck back like that and you're taking something for blood pressure, you get kind of woozy.; 1/8/12, 11:28 AM
Curious George said...: So that's what a capitol looks like with all the parasites.

Nice.; 1/8/12, 11:35 AM
Wince said...: That Rotunda looks like a cervix.

Quick, George, ask Romney a question about reproductive rights.; 1/8/12, 11:43 AM
Ann Althouse said...: This is the Capitol at Nebraska, which kind of has 3 domes at different levels. This is the top one, at the 14th floor, which is sort of mausoleum like.; 1/8/12, 12:01 PM
MadisonMan said...: I like Wisconsin's Rotunda better.; 1/8/12, 12:05 PM
rhhardin said...: Rotund refers to the oratory.; 1/8/12, 12:24 PM
Toad Trend said...: Curious infatuation with rotundas.

Do rotundas in general enhance the protest experience?

Does chanting, drums and airing of grievances sound better inside a rotunda?

I've been going round and round on this.; 1/8/12, 12:30 PM

So Althouse layed down in a room she describes as "mausoleum like".
How goth. Were you clutching a lilly?; 1/8/12, 1:12 PM
KCFleming said...: In order to combat rising obesity, the Rotunda at the Capitol in Lincoln, Nebraska was renamed the Thintunda.

To promote a low carb diet, the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers mascot was revamped, now looking rail thin and renamed The Soyhusker.

"CornMidsizers" was briefly entertained as an option.; 1/8/12, 1:12 PM

Chip Ahoy said...: Husker. There's that husk controversy again that happens in my mind. Logically a corn husker would put husks on corn and his converse would be a dehusker. The resulting naked corn would be unhusked. But that is not the case and so I must abide in Reverso World with all you wrong-word-saying people.

'Corn shucker' is different. There is no such controversy involving the term shucker.; 1/8/12, 1:32 PM
MadisonMan said...: Is it the Rotunda, or is it the room where they make Fizzy Lifting Drinks at the Wonka Factory?; 1/8/12, 1:41 PM
The Crack Emcee said...: From the Wonka Factory to Alice In Wonderland!

I can transition with the best of 'em,...; 1/8/12, 3:36 PM

I'll listen for this next time I watch a movie that has the bad words dubbed out.; 1/8/12, 5:03 PM
Psychedelic George said...: Looks like the Neural Neutralizer from a long ago episode of Star Trek...used "therapeutically" by the ominously named Dr. Van Gelder at the Tantalus Penal Colony.; 1/8/12, 6:41 PM
