Speaking of defenestration….this picture seemed oddly appropriate for an open thread. If you’ve ever been to Prague Castle, perhaps the most amazing thing about the defenestration monuments (which denote where several politicians from the Second Defenestration of Prague landed – and lived thanks to a fortuitously located pile of manure) is just how far they are from the window. Angry citizens can have superhuman strength it would seem.
