While I can find the tonal quality of France's defense of its culture a bit trying, I can't say I blame them. And I certainly don't blame these maniacs. I suppose if I lived in France I would break into buildings to fix antique clocks too. Yay for the scientists of memory.

Why am I flashing on Tuttle from Brazil, I wonder? (Okay, I don't wonder: repair as subversion, and complaints of an inefficient or corrupt state. But that is supposed to be fantasy. Faintly creepy, the official French reaction....)

That's great. I'm sad the administrator lost his job, though.
