Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
-- The Buddha

His 'war paint' is talcum mixed to a paste with water and is traditionally spread around on people, vehicles, buildings, dogs cats and sausages during songkran. Bangkok has taken almost four days to remove the worst of the talcum from theur signage etc. this year.
