This thread is really humorous.It certainly is.

I agree about Picasso,.... There is other modern(e) art that I admire also, the EMD E-8 locomotive,....

Picasso, while "exiled" in Sweden during WWII, did a sculpture of the wing of the British fighter plane, the Spitfire, as :"A symbol of Europes determination for Liberation". I have seen a picture of the sculpture, and well, it is Picasso. But like you admire the EMD E-8, I admire the Spit on purely artistic grounds. IMHO, it is the most beautiful airplane ever designed by man (R.J.Mitchell, actually). Pablo may have been touched by an a-hole, but he had an eye for women and airplanes.
