        }
    }
    extend(window['Boolean'], 'isTrue', funct);
    extend(window['Boolean'], 'isFalse', wrap);
}

On a more serious note, is there any useful purpose for extending the Boolean prototype?

Yes, that's really how high the sun get's this time of year.
I dream of sunny days ahead in Madrid.

I was lucky enough to be one of the 26 Opera folk sailing in Greece this summer.
I made sure to take some panoramas.

Hydra:
Hydra was a pretty amazing city, it felt like we where intruding upon some divine ancient grounds. The mountain provided a very nice view of the harbour, we just had to be careful of all the snakes.

Some Town:
I can't remember the name of this place, but it was the second last town we spent a night at. The back streets were very higeldy pigeldy, looked kind of like something out of an Escher painting.

I took these photos several months ago but only made time to stictch them together today.
