    The exposition was the centennial celebration in Philly. Nice photo. I'd never seen one like that before.

    I know Lady Liberty was a gift of France, but that only the head and arm were completed first. The arm and torch (the cresset, I guess, but I never heard that word before) were displayed in Philadelphia, Pa. during the centennial celebration held there  in 1876.

    "Is it correct that first the hand with cresset was for some time in New York, before the whole statue to come ?"

    I don't even know what that means.

    "I thought the "Trojan Defense" was something you learned about in Sex Education."

    Perhaps it's a Surrealistic Euphemism?

    "But there is no such a defence"
    Surrealistically, there is.

    I really like the Trojan Defense. I guess the Knight is the Trojan Horse being offered as a gift... timeo Danaos et dona ferentes.
