Stupid Stupa

Yesterday was a big day so now I am slightly tired.  There was a lot of thinking happening on this blog yesterday, and certainly I cannot maintain that level of rigor and accuracy. 

Here is a drawing so stupid that it is not up for debate:

This is a drawing I made after going to the aforementioned Sri Lanka.  It depicts a stupa (holy site in Buddhism) as a series of weirdly shaped heads. Usually impressive things were put inside stupas, like Buddha’s begging bowl.  Dead bodies are never put in stupas because Buddhists set dead people on fire.
