I'm (long term) renting a house that has an (empty) concrete grotto in the backyard. It's approximately 12 feet tall, five feet wide and three foot deep. It used to hold a life sized Virgin Mary, which has since been removed and randomly spray painted in green. The thing looks like a crypt and creeps me out!

Since I am not Catholic, I have no idea what to do with it. It looks similar to the link below, except it has a "widows peak" at the top front.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, since I cannot remove it and can't afford a ton of money to restyle it into something else.

How do you pronounce this Greek word?

Paidaros - very handsome (literal translation: big guy)

College freshman needs subject matter for a contrast and comparison essay.

The obvious choice was the Tigers and Cardinals, but apparently half the class is doing that already. He thought about doing the American League and National League, but could only find one difference and he requires three.

The subject of baseball is not required, it's just his favorite subject so he tends to produce better work.

Any suggestions on an interesting subject matter?
