At the New York Historical Society today.
@gleick I thought he was guarding Buckingham Palace!

@JB105 @gleick Maybe he thinks Buckingham Palace is a better place for a gig now that Andrew's gone.

@gleick Let cooler heads prevail

@gleick Just what exactly are the pigeons in New York eating?

@gleick The marching band at my high school wore hats like that, about a half century ago.
@gleick they got it all wrong - it's the current guy who wears a Russian hat

@gleick

not widely known but abraham lincoln moonlit as a castle guard for the wicked witch of the west.

o-wee-oh.

@gleick He looks like a color-inverted version of those british soldiers(?) with the funny fuzzy hats.
@gleick Is this how Buckingham palace guards got their hats? Originally they were top hats, but they got a redesign after a particularly snowy winter.

@gleick

Ah yes, Marge Simpson's distant ancestor.

@gleick Four score and seven inches of snow our fathers brought plows and shovels…
@gleick No, I am a bronze popsicle
@gleick I didn't realize Abraham Lincoln used to be one of the guards at Buckingham Palace.
@gleick Lincoln still keeping a cool head in the worst times.
@gleick As someone who had to shovel this today, that's at least 50 kilos on his head.
@gleick - Insulated stovepipe hat!
@gleick "I'm having the biggest brain freeze ever. But I've been holding this position too damn long to show it."
@gleick No wonder he was shot in a theatre - nobody could see anything if they sat behind him. 😁 #TooSoon?
@gleick 带派vs苦逼
