'If the mountain will not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain'Try a bit of Google research. I'm sure you will find links to various other relevant links, webpages, and websites herehttp://

I am an utter loss .......... what is great about any graffiti?Once in a blue moon, graffiti artists produce a "work" of some note and interest ........... but 99.9999% of graffiti is nothing more than a poisionous expensive and ugly blight on communities, industry and infrastructure!
