  Drawings of Vaginas by Teenage Boys
  
  Best title of a book on Amazon yet? Reviews
  include, "Bit disappointing really. Yes, the
  book has pictures of Vagina's drawn by teenage
  boys but there isn't many (Roughly, about 15)
  and there isn't any notes, annotations,
  introductions or any other interesting passages
  of writing. OK, you get what it says on the tin
  but still, very small book with a few drawings
  in. Bought this for my Brother by the way and he
  has yet to comment as it isn't Xmas yet. Will
  update."

  >>  Ticket Barrier Sings Blur's "Song 2" <<
  Pesky Young Scamp writes, "It's the 4th barrier
  from the right at the west entrance, not the
  2nd, though I noticed that the exit barriers
  from the Jubilee line at Waterloo are copying
  it. Talented thing."

  (suggested by Rotating Wobbly Hat)
