And to think I was printed on Mullberry Street.

Having no concept of New York, my only impression of Mulberry Street is of a quiet street where landscapers bring potted trees in by wagon…

Edit: Apparently the Mulberry Street in the Dr. Seuss book is in Springfield Massachusetts.

Chrome (or something) translated the page for me:

OMOTE 3D SHASHIN KAN (Front birth canal photographic Kang) is carried out as a first exhibition Creative Lab PARTY, pop-up store is limited for two months that can produce their own figures.

Figures are OK. But I do so want some front birth canal photographic Kang.

100 year ago, Italian relatives of mine were living there. Now we can print 3D heads. My grandfather would love it. Seriously.
He used to say to me – “Archie Bunker says ‘those were the days’ he’s full of baloney! There were no good old days”.

“… where you get your head scanned and then printed out…” Seriously, I can not tell you how warm and fuzzy it makes me feel to read this, AND know its for real, in my lifetime.

Oh, man, and two of my favorite books when I was a kid were “And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street” and “Cricket in Times Square”.

Whatever happened to the build-it-yourself MakerBot kit?
