I am overjoyed, not least because in the pre- and post-game coverage my city got a few much-needed hours under the nation's spotlight. Since we have a tourist economy and badly need economic stimulus, we need to remain on everyman's mental map of the USA.
Everything that can be said about the Saints has already been said. I would have taken pictures when I went to the Quarter Sunday night, but I don't have a camera and the camera I do have doesn't work at night. I would have brought my friend the photographer, but she's two years younger than me and living at home and I doubt her parents would approve.
What I can say, which to my knowledge no one has said before, is this:
All fairy tales come from China. Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, you name it. Chinese stories.
And how do I know? Simple! What do all of these men have in common?

All of these men are with a Disney princess, which, one would assume, makes them Disney princes. However. ALL OF THESE PRINCES ARE NAMED CHARMING.
What does this tell us? Well, either they're all the same person-- check out the pictures above and you'll see they obviously aren't-- or they're all related. They're a dynasty of Charmings... Or should I say Char Mings?
The Char Ming dynasty, which unfortunately has never appeared in any book I've read and so must be a part of Chinese prehistory, was obviously in the habit of marrying poor peasant girls on the spur of the moment. Not that Sleeping Beauty was a peasant girl. Neither was Snow White, but she might as well have been-- she was just lying in a casket surrounded by tiny men. How on earth would you know about her heritage?
Anyway, I have a French test tomorrow and I don't really have time to look into this important discovery, but if any anthropologist or historians want to take up where I left off, they can go right ahead.
