These are
several soldiers of the Chinese Terracotta Army. We saw them and a couple hundred more at the
High Museum several years ago. Having a platoon
of Terracotta soldiers had its financial advantages. They did not eat, did not sick and willing to
guard their post 24x7.
There are
also some disadvantages of your Terracotta Soldiers. They dd not so anything but just stand there.
You don't
have to worry about them whistling at girls walking by or for that matter,
raping and pillaging innocent civilians like soldiers do sometime.
You should
see them. We saw formations of rolls of
them, all lined up facing the same way , very military-like. Some were even in wagons and pulling large
artillery.
You might
ask, if they don't do anything, you might ask, "What good are they?"
They are a
good defense in numbers. Opposing
generals looking at them at a distance might think twice about attacking such a
large number.
Which
reminds me, I heard recently on the news that a large number of people to show
up for a cause is a commodity to rent.
There are businessmen who rents crowds of people.
I wonder if
these modern business people renting crowds ever considered Terracotta mannequins? If you made them out of plastic they were be lighter and easier to load up on a truck or something.
The second
picture is a Terracotta soldier listening to me trying to get him to come to
work for me, as a straight man.
