    Karnak Temple Complex

    The ram-headed sphinx is a symbol of the god Amun and characteristic of the Karnak Temple Complex. A row of ram-headed sphinxes line the walkway between the Luxor Temple and the Precinct of Amun-Re (Temple of Ramesses II) at Karnak. Each ram-headed sphinx (kabsh) holds up a statue of the Pharaoh between its paws, the walkway is therefore known as “Tareeq El-Kebaash” amongst locals.

    So I’m listening to the Batman: Legends of Robin audio book and they added this little exchange

    seinemajestat:

    Sheila: Oh, Joker, I can’t even see his face under all that blood.

    Joker: Tsk tsk, kids these days, no respect for their appearance. Next he’ll be wearing torn jeans.

    Oh god and the bomb taunts them the whole time it counts down. And it’s Mark Hamill voicing Joker.

    Too bad the Batman reader doesn’t emote at all ever.

    why do I not have this?!

    Even now, my blood becomes feverish when I reflect upon those bygone days when Bruce and I were together. He ingeniously helped me to recapture the days I lost having been interned for five years in an American concentration camp for simply having been born of Japanese descent. I had just graduated from high school and Bruce provided me with a therapy of sorts – just being able to “hang out” and do some of the light-hearted, crazy things that I had missed out on and been deprived of during my internment. The bitterness, negativeness, and the feeling of complete inferiority that plagued me in the days before Bruce Lee came into my life, are – as a direct result of his teachings and my own willingness to apply them – now just water that has passed under the bridge. I realize now that there was a concealed, hidden enrichment that I gleaned from my experiences, both positive and negative, that has served to make me a better person today.
