Love is in the air, even in our Geo Quiz…

Love and falling in love doesn’t get much better than in the city we’re looking for today.And what better place for seduction to occur than in a fountain?

That’s a big clue right there. It’s a famous scene from a classic film by Federico Fellini: La Dolce Vita. The actress calling for Marcelo is Anita Ekberg.

She’s wet, gorgeous, and in a fountain. The Marcelo is the cool Italian star, Marcelo Mastroianni. And we’re focusing on a film as the clue because of a new series of travel books

They want to take you to the places around the world where well-known movies were shot. The places movies evoked, and the city evoked by one film in particular, coming right up after the break.

Answer: The film is La Dolce Vita. The actress calling for Marcello is none other than Anita Ekberg. And she was romping in that memorable scene in Rome’s Trevi Fountain.

    RE: “BEFORE 2012″

    “Regarding the planet and the entire solar system steadily moving into a more dense region of the galaxy -where there’s greater pressures, and more bodies to collide with- poses a growing grave and real planetary danger. Also some of the outer collisions could send asteroids onto this planet from the outer Oort cloud of asteroids and from the massive amounts of debris surrounding this solar system and rimming the galaxy.

    Warnings were given even centuries ago about the eventual impact of stellar bodies ["stars" etc] upon this planet and its oceans.

    “But there’s another matter to be concerned with here oceanically, and that’s the ongoing melting ice caps. because the heavy “Water Weight” (c)ARRBA is accumulating around the equatorial zones and the islands there -like the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands etc- can be gravely affected siesmically with resulting tsunami’s reaching as far north as both Korea & Japan. Understand nderstand the mechanisms? We’ve been contacting National Oceanic Administration about it [NOAA]. We have to -and can- act to counter these developments. The planet will likely survive, but there can be a lot of tumultuous shaking on the crustal surface, and cities can collapse. Government officials need be alerted.

    “Even more can be done to also lessen the disastrous intensity of cyclones,typhoons, hurricanes as The national Weather Services have been informed but the government is slow to act, and the people remain yet largely too uninformed uniformed and also otherwise preoccupied.”

    These are matters of dire urgency eclipsing any danger to posed by fuel sshortages, unemployment and monetary mishandling crisis.
