Real life... association with Thief

Forgive me for posting a video... and a parkour video at that. There's just a really nice segment in this semi-documentary with a rooftop traverse that reminded me so much of a Thief-like environment. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OylnuwhdVHo&feature=youtu.be&t=5m25s) Starts at 5:25. It's a really great video in general - slow-paced, intricate and focused on the details of moving your body in the environment. Hardly a flip in sight.

That video was great. I just stumbled across this guy's DA account and found lots of really pretty architecture photographs: (http://hubert61.deviantart.com/gallery/36635754)

German auction house Hermann Historica's recent catalogue shows among other things a nice collection of medieval and early modern times chests, locks and keys: (http://www.hermann-historica.de/auktion/hhm67.pl?f=KAPITEL&c=VARIA&t=temgroup_a_GB&start=1&dif=20&db=kat67_a.txt)

@clearing: What FM/OM is that from?

this is a bit embarrassing...
I started working at a new company in the fall, and a certain co-coworker (not in my department, I never learned his name) seemed familiar... He had some trouble walking, as if he had hip problems that gave him a loping stride. He also had some breathing problems, leading him to sniff and snort frequently.
I finally realized why he seemed familiar when I saw him walking away from the water cooler and raise a cup to his mouth - and I thought he would blow-dart me! :o
yes, I thought (for a split-second!) that he was an ape-beast :sweat:
