Lost Horizons

So you want to join the army?

I am amused by the antics of german art student, Pablo Wendel (Pablo, now, that's a good German name), who disguised himself as a terracotta warrior and hid amongst the 2,000 other life size statues at Xi'an. Apparently, he even bought a plinth to stand on.

It seems it took the security guards a while to fathom out which was the intruder, and they had to carry him out "like a log".
Police said his actions warranted only "serious criticism and education" since he did not cause any damage. Hah, I would have conscripted him into the real army, that would have taught him a lesson about playing stupid pranks.

If only all those other fakes in China were a little easier to spot.
