Happy 117th Birthday Colonel Sanders

No, this is not the Colonel Sanders mummy. It is one of a number of cast statues of Harland Sanders that were kept at the KFC warehouse across the street from my apartment in Tokyo. Though perhaps someday, when the relics of our civilization are dug up by some future race they will look at these statues and decide that, much as museum curators say of anything they dig up that they don't know what it is, it was used for ritual purposes. And with the colonel, to a degree, they'd be right.
