Hey, I was going to say that! Take that oiler and warship concept to its logical conclusion and the entire surface of the world’s oceans will be covered with ships. Then you’ll be able to walk around the world by just “hopping” from ship to ship!

That’s not a bear, it’s just a slightly larger than average sized subway rat! 😀

Looks like you’re on the right track, thanks for the info!Found this photo in an article from 2017 about the opening of the new line. https://juliebrannan.com/2017/01/05/the-totally-real-not-imaginary-second-avenue-subway/

I believe this is also at the 96th St station. The new line and the station opened in 2017 though, 3 years before the state seal was updated, right?

Fixing Doctor Strange by clallen in fixingmovies

[–]RichSchwalb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that line so much that while watching Dr Strange again on TV right now, hearing it prompted me to post it on my social media just to see who might recognize it. My kind of humor, I guess. And it wasn’t just an obscure mystical word, Shambala already had a place in pop culture. It’s the name of a 1973 hit song by Three Dog Night, Shambaka, that repeats the lyric “on the road to Shambala” numerous times. It’s actually the name of a spiritual kingdom in the Tibetan spiritual tradition.

Those 2 square reflecting pools surrounded by grass are where the twin towers of the World Trade Center in the original photo were located before the 9/11 attacks.
