Happy Valentines Day~ ya' bums!

[Stig / Major Tom]

If you forgot to get your cat a fish, or the Mrs some blooms - you still have time!

I thought this was interesting....
In Paris, up near Montmartre, is a wall of enameled tiles (made from lava) with a collection of hundreds of ways to say "I love you" in various languages.


All 192 nations that make up the United Nations are represented on the I Love You Wall in Montmartre. It is estimated that there are 311 phrases on the wall in total, spanning across just over 250 different languages. The collection was compiled for a book in the 1990's - and the wall was constructed in 2000.
Many have made their marriage proposals by the wall.





The bright red shards represent a broken heart.....and when pieced back together form a large red heart.

The languages range from Navajo - to African tribal dialects.

very interesting, I recall in london when I traveled there was a bridge where couples put locks on the bridge and tossed the keys in the river.  The city every couple of weeks would end up cutting all of the locks off anyway by the next week the bridge would be full of locks again .
