    .........slightly O/T but skulls and bones have some relationship to hot rodding.
    This summer my wife and I took a two week trip to Europe; one week in the Algarve in Portugal and one week in Spain.
    While in Faro Portugal, we came across a chapel that was entirely made up of skulls and bones from 1,225 monks. The bones and skulls were removed from the graves as the church expanded.
    The entire chapel, and I mean entire, was made up of bones and skulls. The walls and ceiling were lined with bones. It was a little eary but kind of cool at the same time. Here are some pics........

    Even more freaky was what was written above the entrance door; "Stop here and think of the fate that befalls you". Thanks for reminding me of that!

  14. Yeah, I bet when it comes time to paint the exterior, the application of paint turns it into a skyscraper!
