<P>Gacked from Laura Evans:</P>

<P> "Some of you I hardly know at all, but you friended me and I thank you. But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so... she wears mismatched socks." I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal."</P>

All of those are neat. I could never tell the difference!

If there's more emotion, more movement (and chances are, if the figure is reclining) it's a Hellenistic sculpture. The oldest pieces have impassive nude figures simply stepping forward slightly, called kouros. Classical sculptures have the perfect dimensions and the ethereal, beatific air about them, and are often free-standing sculptures as well, except in more interesting positions; instead of merely stepping forward, they're perhaps leanding casually on a column, or maybe in mid-spin of throwing a dicsus.
