Thoth

When we went to Central Park I forgot my camera, so that last post I just did an image search for him. Apparently the host of the picture wasn't so fond of me using it, so I took it down.

So instead of a picture, I bring you a 4 min. video intro to his (2002?) Oscar winning documentary compliments of thoth444 on youtube. It really is great. You should watch the whole thing. You won't be disappointed. At least I wasn't.

That has got to be the most unique busker I've ever seen. I've got to say though, that whole castrato voice really gives me the creeps. What a life that guy has!

I think the original Thoth was Babylonian. I guess that is what he is trying to look like. I wonder how much he has to exercise every day to stay in such great shape.

The violin is a super bonus. I bet his mom never imagined that all those violin lessons would pay off in this way!

Haha mom. I agree. I bet his mom had no clue he'd do this as a profession.

I'm a little scared by that clip! I hope he is wearing something under that loin cloth.

Of course if he truly is castrati then he'll have nothing to hide... under the loin cloth that is.
