Antonio Gaudi was killed by a trolley while crossing the street in Barcelona. The following question entered my mind: Didn't his mother teach him to look both ways before crossing the street? I then realized trolleys probably weren't around when he was a kid. My apologies go out to Mrs. Gaudi for my snap judgment. If I get killed by a trolley on this trip it will be due to the fact Mama Gaudi is unforgiving. :-)
By the way, contrary to popular wisdom the word "gaudy" is not derived from Antoni's ostentatious style.
