A Kingsford denizen decided to make his Xmas tree out of a scrotum plant aka Bishop's ball. I wonder whether one could say: Have a ball of a Christmas? In Brazil this funny-shaped bush is called 'Saco de Adão' (Adam's scrotum).

This photo of myself on the stairs of Sydenham station reminds me of a 1971 movie called "French connection" whose posters showed a man being shot in the back by a NYC cop while he ascended the stairs of a railway station.
